Does today’s America look anything like that? No. We have many problems,
but we’re hardly living in a miasma of despair. Leave government statistics
(which almost half of Trump supporters completely distrust) on one side;
Gallup finds that 80 percent of Americans are satisfied with their standard
of living, up from 73 percent in 2008, and that 55 percent consider themselves
to be “thriving,” up from 49 percent in 2008. And there are good reasons
for those good feelings: recovery from the financial crisis was slower than
it should have been, but unemployment is low, incomes surged last year,
and thanks to Obamacare more Americans have health insurance than ever before.
