One of the things a lot of people lost in the tribalism of US politics is the fact that Donald Trump was voted in for the same reason Barack Obama was voted in -- they hoped that he would come in as a relative outsider and change things while an entrenched elite appeared to be taking more and more from the common man.

I think the fact that Trump spoke to the working and middle class and said "I see you're hurting and I want to help" compared to the establishment that said "You're better off than you've ever been sit down shut up and be happy" and was increasingly turning darker -- to "you working class and middle class idiots are all a bunch of monsters and we hate you, you should strive to become someone we like more"

The establishment has been mask off for a few years, and is openly hateful and disdainful of anyone who isn't exactly, specifically, and exclusively whatever they demand people be in the moment, including aligning on race, sexuality, gender identity and more. If the commoners aren't marching in lockstep with whatever the current demands are then they're not just wrong or in disagreement but evil and stupid, at least in the rhetoric of the establishment.

Many people who voted for Trump had Bernie Sanders as their #2, and vice versa which doesn't make sense from a tribal standpoint, but makes perfect sense from the sense of a working and middle class seeing their lives fading away and looking for someone to come in and break the elite's power.

That's also why it's looking like Trump could win another term despite being the categorical target of a twenty four hour hate campaign for 7 years and the full might and fury of the US government and a good number of states -- The establishment has been pissing on the common man and telling them it's raining for years and seeing them do the same to him only establishes him as more like the common man than the elites despite his obvious status as a capitalist elite.

You keep using the word "positive". I don't think it means what you think it means.
