text: So, it appears that we are at a point of disagreement as to what the disease is.  Is it neo-liberalism or progressivism.  You are right about a few things.  1.  Wealth that is used to buy influence is concentrated in a few people.  2. Good people are deluded and indoctrinated into despising fellow Americans.  3. A lot of what is being reported by the media is a distraction.  You are wrong about the progressive agenda.  Progressives have spent years moving our country in a direction opposite of the way our Founders intended.  Barack Obama was able to advance their agenda when he signed Obamacare.  The election of Trump put a halt to their plans, but Trump is no white hope.  All of the rage being played out is rage at the agenda being thwarted for now.
