People are angry that the banks were bailed out but they were not. The fact that most them didn't need a bailout and would have suffered much worse if the banks had been allowed to collapse is irrelevant. To many people feel empowered because they read blogs on the internet that agrees with their view point which makes them feel informed but only deepens their ignorance. Trump and to a large degree Bernie Sanders have been playing into this.

Tell people what the want to hear and they become convinced you are must be smart. Point that what they want is either unalterable and counterproductive and they just call you a puppet to the mainstream media and go back to reading Facebook memes and watching documentaries.

History will remember saving the banks as an d helping to control the spread of AIDS in Africa as Bush's greatest accomplishment in office but his own party is eating itself because they are angry about the bailout and want to stop foreign aid because we need to spend more money vets (I know the two have nothing to with each other but of course I am a just a puppet of the media). Bernie made a solid run at Hillary promising a generation buried in college debt free college but no where did he suggest we should limit how much colleges can spend and charge he was just going to right them a blank check. Pats on the head and sweet nothings shouted from a podium have replaced real ideas and viable plans for the future. Look at Brexit and the mad man the Philippines elected. Make me question democracy as valid form of government.
