Op-ed contributor Reno writes about the cultural decline of the middle class and its lost sense of participation in the nation's politics. He describes the effects of social decline with use of drugs, children born outside of marraige, and children raised by grandparents. Political elites on the right and left see the white middle class as not being part of a multicultural and globalized future, which they hope to run, leading to its alienation and support for candidates such as Trump and Sanders, says Reno.

The future for conservatism and the Republican Party as seen at the American Enterprise Institute in 2016 with the popularity of Trump
01/27/2016
A resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute says the Republican Party and conservatism have missed the problems facing the working class, leading to the popularity of Trump. He sees dangers in the deportation of 11 million Hispanic Americans that Trump has called for, and says conservatism and Republican ought to mean many positive things to working Americans that have missed out on opportunities in the last decade- that it will take many years and more than one election cycle to change this. In fact Speaker Ryan called for a forum on poverty and inequality for working class people, only after Trump increased his popularity by appealing to older white Americans left out by changes in the economy in the last decade.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
