I have you down as socially maladaptive, some sort of glitch in empathy, perhaps. Or am I just projecting. And how do I differentiate projecting from just seeing in others what I am consciously aware of as self truth?

People feel hopeless only because the blindfold of labor protectionism and Murrica First! sentiment gave them unrealistic expectations. Now that they have to look through their big boy goggles, they're shitting their depends. Americans were doing just fine by the end of Obama's presidency, and thanks to continued advancements in technology (largely driven by corporations), we'll continue to do even better if fantasy-world populists like Trump and Sanders don't fuck us over. Neoliberalism isn't perfect, though I'd argue some of the worst elements of corporate corruption (e.g. the military-defense complex) predate it regardless. The occasional kickback and lobbyist gift is a small price to pay when considering the alternative in France.
Almost all sophisticated tech comes from gov funded academia. Eg. semiconductors from defense grants to MIT/Stanford/etc, and you know where the internet came from.
I know, I know. Al Gore invented it.

Your political astuteness is genuinely staggering.
Our corporate parties barely even pretend to give a shit about the electorate or working people, it is all about the money for the monied class.

I will just say this.
Bernie Sanders would have been a better president than either Hillary or Trump and would not be a disgrace to America like we have now.
Trump said wacky stuff he had to walk back and Bernie would have done the same.(walking back his questionable comments)
He would have been better in what way? In how he would have made you feel? Sure.
No corruption scandals.
No Russia ties.
No links to disliked billionaires
Not a scumbag
Not widely hated
Same views his whole career
Yeah I would have felt better about it. I'm sure.
In the way he would push for the middle class, and lower class.
Better feels would have led to the win. Like it did for republicans with Trump.
In fact nowadays Id say elections are all about the feels. It seems most Americans are not intelligent enough to weigh the facts and make a beneficial decision for themselves. They just vote for who they like the most.
And sadly, Trump was more likeable on a personal level to many Americans, like W bush.
Americans vote for the person they wanna hang out with, not the best candidate. Sadly.
Bill Clinton was cooler than his opponents
Bush was "cooler" than Gore and Kerry
Obama was cooler than Hillary and McCain and Romney
Trump was cooler than Hillary.
We are living the idiocracy.
Anyone who had "better feels" from Trump at any point during the campaign needs to be bitch slapped hard enough to snap their neck.Better feels would have led to the win. Like it did for republicans with Trump.

But when Mattes started tracking down the sites’ domain registrations, the trail led to Macedonia and Albania. In mid-September, he emailed a few of his private investigator friends with a list of the sites. “Very creepy and i do not think Koch brothers,” he wrote.
Mattes and his friends didn’t know what to make of his findings. He couldn’t get his mind around the possibility that trolls overseas might be trying to sway a bunch of Southern Californians who supported Sanders’ run for president. “I may be a dark cynic and I may have been an investigative reporter for a long time, but this was too dark ― and too unbelievable and most upsetting,” he said. “What was I to do with this?”

Divide and conquer. More influence from Eastern Europe against hilary, ultimate goal is to get trump elected.

Bernie supporters were used and they are in the denial stage.
