yet do you not see the genuine 'surprise' and concerted effort against Brexit and Trump by the ruling class or status quo? Fact that something opposite of what the (elite) trend is could, couldn't it?, suggest that there is something different occurring? I'm not suggesting we're entering a new era of roses and sunshine, but - it's at least a different tack from the prevailing wind, isn't it?
Alternatively, if you disagree, then would you confirm that you are adhering to a wholehearted cynical and pessimistic, dystopian view? If so -- nevermind. :-)
