Automotive Industry is one of the biggest employers in most nations.
You clearly don't know what you are talking about. You don't read up on Business News, Automotive News, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, etc. You haven't worked a real job (I can tell) and are probably doing something like teaching or some profession that lives in the abstract.
Record numbers of young people (not just in the USA but even globally) are under employed, unable to find housing, etc. Granted, we have had other bad periods and recoveries (the 1970s oil crisis was bad and so was 2008 which is the one that I personal dealt with).
You might be onto something with the bolded comment. I do think Trump and MAGA have a lot more in common with the AOC/Bernie crowd that either group wants to admit.
