INTRODUCTION

IT’S ABOUT POWER, NOT ABOUT THE ECONOMY

It’s All About Power Part 3: WASP versus the Rising Marginalized is the most apt description of the current state of power as it is contested in the United States. The 116^th Congress is younger, more female, more ethnically and racially diverse, broader in acknowledged sexual orientation, and has more recent migrants than any previously Congress in the history of the United States of America. Many of its members were elected to replace older males of the 115^th Congress who were of WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) heritage, as the latter is defined in “It’s All About Power Part 1: The Metamorphosis of WASP in the United States”. The composition of the 116^th Congress is consistent with the demographics described in “Its All about Power Part 2: The Demise of Patriarchy in the 21^st Century”, written and posted before the results of the US election on November 6, 2018 began to be reported.
