It's true that in many ways, the US is in a state of disrepair. We owe 19 trillion dollars, our infrastructure truly is outdated and embarrassingly inept compared to other first world countries, our manufacturing industry is barely limping along, our education system is failing our kids and putting many of them in debt, our healthcare system is laughable to anyone who doesn't live here, and our image is quickly tarnishing. Many people do really feel like America is not great anymore, and there's a lot of evidence to support that claim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjMXFOMhbeQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pducRLyDmiY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc_5D3W3hTo But what are we to do about it? Globalism is killing us, because the US wasn't set up to thrive in a global economy. We were set up to be uniquely our own, proudly separate and different, a maverick in a sea of wimpy me-too followers and weak third world dictatorships. That's not what's out there anymore, and in this modern world, our old strong points are becoming our greatest failures. We need to change. The establishment has done what it can to try to push us forward, but we're falling behind fast in spite of their greatest efforts. We need a revolution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMm-YMO5H7o Donald J. Trump is a brand, and he knows it. http://www.theamericanmirror.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/donaldjtrumphome.jpg His brand is meant to appeal to the subconscious of a growing segment of the population that most politicians have been ignoring. Donald Trump is brand master, and he saw the opportunity to come in on a white horse and start beating down the establishment. Now you understand why he's been acting like a ridiculous cartoon candidate this whole time. But you only half understand why people support him. Even if you already like Trump, I bet that somewhere in your mind right now, there's the assumption that many of his supporters are racist idiots. Let me explain his supporters in a way most people have failed to do. A word of warning to the weak: I'm about to get real up in here. We've been told for the last 50 years that if we embrace each other and ignore our differences, then everyone will be happy and no one will ever have a bad day. And so we've tried. We've put policies in place to make sure the people at the top don't always win, and the people at the bottom don't always lose. We've endured a constant, endless cycle from the media pushing equality and progressive ideology. We've had politicians do everything they can to eliminate our borders and move us into a globalist, one world order. We've had marches and demonstrations and candlelight vigils and social media campaigns. We elected a black president, twice, and we're pretty damn close to electing a woman for the first time in our country's entire history. If that's all you knew, you'd think social justice issues in America must be just about solved. You would think everyone in the US is happy, empowered, and feeling great about the future. You would think sexism, racism, and xenophobia would be almost completely eradicated. All Quiet on the Western Front. That's what you would think, if you didn't know better. But you do know better. You know that in the US today, a black man is far more likely to be incarcerated than a white man (six times more likely). You know that women are less happy than they've been in over 40 years (http://www.nber.org/papers/w14969). You know that the murder rate in the US has shot upwards significantly in the past couple years (+10.8% in 2015), and the fear of a terrorist threat is as real as it was in 2001, right after 9/11. People are scared, unhappy, and on top of all of that, our jobs are disappearing to places like China, Mexico, and really, anywhere but here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZpDjxIPpFc This is why we are sick and tired of the establishment. You might be scared of Donald Trump, but you know what? The people who have been in power for your entire lifetime, and are the hidden reason everyday people like us do almost everything we do whether it's working at one multinational conglomerate or another, or buying an iphone, or choosing which grocery store to go to or which television show to watch, the people gaining more and more power every day while we live out our pathetic lives under their control... those people are shaking in their boots about the threat of Donald Trump. And that's exactly why I like him.
