I typically don't just simply reprint articles (without analysis), but the one below does an excellent job describing changes to American values. It describes our citizen's desires for isolationism and protectionism and it counters Republican vs. Democrat focus on nativism vs. socialism. Both parties often place their attention on the "Good Old Days" of the 1950's in respect to the booming economy (Democrats) and family values (Republicans), but they ignore facts to paint a pretty picture of the past. The 1960's brought on a polychromatic and multicultural time period that moved the country from the restrictive safety of conformity to enervated hyperindividualism, and thus as a result, candidates like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have arrived.
