"We got rich", the author says.  Excuse me, but what I read everywhere is stagnation or decline in real income (wages) for decades for the vast majority of Americans in the work force taking into account inflation.  In the 1950's, 60's and 70's incomes did improve for some, but I guess if you can't understand why Trump got elected, then you just don't get it.  Work force participation rate among those of "working age" is at an historical low not seen since the Great Depression.  Perhaps Mr. Winters is suffering from the "inside the beltway" or the "Acela Corridor" strain of the flu.  Ivanka Trump, who attended Trump campaign rallies, told the Donald, "you are going to win."  Plus, twenty five or more years of pedophilia lawsuits took some of the starch out of the proverbial clerical collar.  Many laity left after consolidations, mergers and reorganizations.  And that pesky "globalization" phenomena.  None of these points have to do with immigration or conservative sexual ethics.
