I think the majority of people just want the opportunity to make something of their lives, care for their loved ones, and do meaningful, productive work. Capitalism uncontrolled and taken to its logical end resulted in the chaos of the Great Depression. My greatest generation parents were deeply affected by what they saw and experienced during the Depression years. They were especially impacted by seeing families losing everything because they were foreclosed on by lenders, either person or institution, who stood to benefit from the families’ misfortunes. That’s what is really disturbing about the anti-democracy people--their willingness to hurt others even to the point of being gleeful about their meanness, because they can.
