Another thing Rousseau "predicted":

"Défiez-vous de ces cosmopolites qui vont chercher loin dans leurs livres des devoirs qu’ils dédaignent de remplir autour d’eux. Tel philosophe aime les Tartares, pour être dispensé d’aimer ses voisins."

"Beware of those cosmopolites who go find in their books duties that they fail to uphold around themselves. Those philosophers love the Tartares to exonerate themselves from loving their neighbors (their nation)."

Maybe you will understand why Trump has such a strong support among the classes which aren't trendy to defend and advocate for. As much as I disagree with the rhetoric, Trump has a point: a country with no borders is not a country.
