Sadopopulism: the modern American political landscape

Here is an interesting video that tries to make sense of the new political landscape of America. I like the new term coined to frame it all "sadopopulism."

In essence it is a political dynamic where trying to make society better for the future is completely ignored in order to inflict pain on those that the populace hold enmity towards. It is a political system where one expects the government to not only not do well but to hurt them as part of the package to hurt those you hate even more.

When you think about it this explains why Trump voters would be enthusiastic about losing healthcare, environmental protections and paying higher taxes to give the rich even more money. Sure, they'll hurt, but it also all will really anger Libtards. LULZ

If politics is now just all about spite and retribution, with no thought to what might make society better, is there any hope for the future? Should I just keep accumulating survival gear or is there some hint of a rainbow we can come out of this?
