that can't just be wished away, and of course unanswered power questions, to the improvement of conditions holding down people who are not doing as well as they would. Still, the appearance of working for change in the right direction, if congress cooperates even somewhat, should help a lot. When it comes to national anxiety, hope for the future is a lot more important than a bird in hand.

I'm still not worried about dangerous levels of civil unrest, though. That's for people who feel they don't have much to lose, and even the miniscule percentage of people at Trump rallies typically have a lot.
