  • People are sick of career politicians because they were told to be. Advertising and marketing drive what people think, not the other way around. As a non-American or even an American you could easily miss the multiple reasons Trump was really elected.

    It was never about draining the swamp as his primary backers of the Federalist and Heritage groups were about dismantling the government. Their plan was to greatly increase the power of the executive because they could not dismantle the government with its consent.

    Only with a extremely strong executive branch could this be accomplished. The rhetoric and propaganda around how bad the government is and how good of private business is in comparison has been going on strong several decades. They have been priming people for this moment since before I was born.

    This is not because the people wished for this, but because wealthy people stand to make more money and gather much more power without a well functioning government.
