This is a good assessment. Fundamentally a Trump doesn't rise to power unless the road has been paved in weak, neoliberal policies. Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden... all had roles in expanding class divides, weakening manufacturing, increasing executive branch power, failing to capture the hearts of the working class.

Yes, Trump is doing awful, aimless, cruel things, but he would be laughed out of power had the parties been serving any interest other than those of the wealthy.
