They Don't Want their Way of Life Threatened

This must be a fundamental conflict in human society - between those who want to keep things the way they are (because the way they are, is good for them) and those who want to change the way they are (to make it better for themselves).

This choice is seldom made consciously - you have to look at how they behave, to deduce the reasons behind their behavior.

This sounds simple - but in real life. these reasons can be hard to decipher.

Take the election of Trump, for example. What was going on in the minds of the electorate? We can only be sure of one thing - they felt threatened, and they wanted these threats removed. And Trump, once he was in office, seems to have satisfied them.
