[ExI] Meta question again

[Keith Henson]

Regardless of how this election turns out, I think we mostly
understand the reason for the rise of crazy in politics in the US.
It's fundamentally rooted in the falling expectations of a large
fraction of the population.

Things like this simply would not have happened when the future was
looking good.

I.e., if we want less crazy in US politics, it take fixing the
economic outlook for a large segment of the population.

Best wishes,

Keith
