"You vote to strike a blow against elitism and you receive a social order in which wealth is more concentrated than ever before in our life times, workers have been stripped of power, and CEOs are rewarded in a manner that is beyond imagining.(Quote from Thomas Frank, who is cited in the second half of the article.)
"It's like a French Revolution in reverse in which the workers come pouring down the street screaming more power to the aristocracy."

It worked.
