That's actually really great! 1000 kudos to you
Why do you think political wisdom wasn't applicable in 2016 and hasn't been since?
I think that's is really one of the most important things we need to try and understand and I don't think it's mainly due to the Internet being a factor.
My guess is it's moreso due to the influence of money on political campaigns, the influence of mega-corporations on the job market, and all the offshoring of jobs in the last few decades. The terrible state of our education system really doesn't help either
The internet, globalism, the collapse of Rhine Capitalism in favor of neoliberalism and reactions against it, the lack of a clear ideological 'enemy' to face... it could be any number of things. All I know for sure is that we're living in 'interesting times', and it'll likely continue to be 'interesting' for a while before any new 'conventional' wisdom can be made.
