Our political system is now run by the Big People for their own interests. If they ever deign to notice the Little People, it is with disdain and contempt.

The happy talkers tell us that diversity is a boon, making our society stronger and better. Our own lying eyes tell us that it is the source of continual trouble; not merely the solitary "hunkering down" that Robert Putnam discovered, but rancor, disorder, litigation, and violence.
