Sarah's Theory of Modern Politics: When we were young, some of us liked to build sandcastles. Others liked to kick them over.

The Republicans, UKIP/Tories, AfD, Chega, and so on, are the people who kicked sandcastles over, asking for the votes of people who kicked sandcastles over.

...and promising them they can knock over as many sandcastles they want, without consequences.

"We have to kick over your sandcastle so we can sell the beach to our friend's sandcastle company, and you'll be able to buy ready-made sandcastles from them instead. We're only laughing and pointing at you because you haven't worked out how much better that market-based solution is for your sandcastle enjoyment."

Yup. Approximately 20-25% of the population are permanently fuelled by hate and a desire for revenge on a world that they imagine has always treated them unfairly. But, dangerously, in the present era their ranks are swelled by those whom the world has genuinely treated unfairly.
The selfish ultra-rich are unwittingly creating a powder keg. They won’t care until it blows up.
