I pretty much agree.
1. Anti-establishment / DC outsider sentiments of frustration and hate and twisted patriotism.
2. Stupid people / voters that are proud and fearfully protective of their ignorance.
3. Failure of Establishment to provide a viable moderate candidate; distain toward voters that needed to be retained to win a national election; and belief in theor own propaganda tossed by the captured media.

I guess that's because there's just been this slow, steady march into neo-fascism where nothing jumped out at me as really deserving comment. It was also just dreary and depressing and predictable. The election of Trump truly surprised me though. I was 99% sure that the Establishment had selected Hillary and would see her in office come hell or high water. They certainly had the means to do so with voting machine shenanigans (many of which were owned by open Hillary supporters). Wall Street overtly supporter her. There seemed to be a faction of the intelligence community that was against her, but at the end of the day the FBI gave her the stamp of approval. The military seemed to be in her camp. The freakin Bush family endorsed her. Trump himself was so ridiculous that he seemed like a Hillary plant.
So what's going on? Did They just heck up? Did their pet clown get out of control and the popular vote was so in his favor that they weren't able to convincingly give Hillary the victory? Or was this the plan all along? And to what end? To polarize American society to never-before-seen heights? Are they really pushing for race war / civil war in order to clamp down hard? I don't think it would actually come to that, but the threat of it would be enough. What are your thoughts?
