All of history is basically a struggle between workers and owners. Owners end up as kings, etc... Periodically the workers get pissed at the owners and essentially tell them to fuck off, usually in the form of pitchforks and beheadings. Modern government is basically an elaborate ploy to keep the workers calm. Going back to the 19th century there were massive labor riots bordering on actual rebellions in America, no surprise public education ignores these events. So fast forward to Obama. After Bush the workers had again become disillusioned with the government, manifesting as occupy wall street. I know it was run by obnoxious people, but the owners never like to see the workers aligning along class lines. So Obama ramped up racial tensions in order to divide the workers again, as well as improting waves of immigrants to help keep the workers divided even more. But by the end of Obama people were very disengaged with the whole political process. This is bad for the owners, they need people voting because it gives people the illusion that they have a stake in how the government is run. So, how to get people back into voting? The answer is Trump. A loud mouth shit talker from new york who is a natural entertainer, a solid member of the owner class who has been rubbing elbows with the political elite for his entire life, yet not actually a politician so he is able to play the outsider angle with credibility. So Trump runs. He could easily have ran as a democrat, in fact he was a registered democrat for decades, but he ran as a republican and preached a gospel of hope to the working class. His natural charisma meant he threw the left into a rage, and the right was ecstatic to have a smart courageous leader for once. Everyone suddenly got very fucking interested in voting again. And now everyone is super into politics with a passion not seen for generations. All Trump has to do is pass some symbolic reforms, not rock the boat too much and keep the normies into politics. And I have a feeling that is all that will happen.

Starts the beginning with marxist ideology.
Most of the struggles in history are religious, but whatever.
or serfs and heads on pikes. but, once again whatever. You're just narrative building at this point.
No, usually this is the more subtle expulsion of the "owner" (Fuck just call them bourgeois).
No, this is a function of the police, dhs, and welfare departments. But, in general the range of functions that the government cover are quite a bit larger.
Yeah, almost like they've been funded for ever and a half and are a functional tactic of elitist groups.
If you haven't noticed. Public education barely scratches the surface of historic events. And, then you have the question of who is writing the material to cover and coming up with the policy of what can/can't be taught in school. But, you haven't made a point of what purpose teaching this portion of history would cover.
Yeah, the economy was tanking because of military debt and legal immigration opened by the H1 programs (accelerated between 1970 - 1990).
Because they're being persecuted for the workers poor life choices.
If anything, Obama didn't give a shit about internal issues. Obama in this case may be construed as the cabinet at the time working with businesses. But, what you're talking about is "The Deep State."
Also, Obama era DS was exporting more illegals then anybody up to that point. The legal immigration wasn't really messed with too much. The only point I could see was Obama era DS pushing through as many illegals to become legal as possible to buffer Dem votes.
At the time racial tensions were not that high because people were not that aware of the war on whites. They were hitting us and getting away with it for several decades.
I'd say up until the clinton email drops it was all business as usual.
You could put it that way. People who do vote have a tendency to continue to back people that they voted for. But, people who do not vote are generally disengaged from the political process entirely. There are a handful of people who do not vote as a political statement, but these people are just wasting their time as nobody else cares. The politically disengaged don't care, and people who have voted tell them to shut the fuck up because they didn't make a choice.
But, let's get to the fact that there's an active movement to attempt to get people to disengage from politics. As I'm reading through and commenting on this shit post (as it is a shit post full of illogical marxist crap) I get the feeling that this is the whole point of your post. A function of disengagement is easier control of the masses. "Don't try to put pressure for what you want." "We can destroy the system if not enough people care." "Let up so that one of the parties has an easier time." Multiple reasons for wanting disengagement. Fuck you.
Yes, let's put a massive crook up against a guy who actually is running on a platform of what people want. If Trump wasn't on the bill disengagement would have been higher (as you expected). But, you are not presenting a reason besides bourgeois like when people back the government.
Here's a concept for you. There were no outside choices for decades. Trump may be a relatively inside choice, but he wasn't deeply inbedded like previous presidents. You also have the whole marxist bullshit going rampant on the world stage. There's a lot more reasons to be political than trump. I'd have to say most of this movement started around gamer gate to be honest.
But, that is a conspiracy on itself. Why would the "Deep State" start fucking with "the opiate of the masses"? Try going down that rabbit holes and you can create all the stupid narratives you want.
The wall is started. His cabinet has massively downsized regulations. Much of what he has done is far from being symbolic. But, that's not going to press.
That nothing is going to change. Ok, what do you want to see change? No really, what do you want to see change in the world?

Lol, someone's butthurt. You go so far as to say Barack "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin" Obama didn't try to ramp up racial tensions in America? Barack "America is getting browner and no one can change that" Obama didn't purposely settle immigrants in majority white areas? And all wars are religious, sure. Wait, what was religion? Oh right, the thing the rulers used to justify their positions of power. I like that in one breath you can say the economy was tanking because of military debt and H1b visas and in the next you can say the working class are just blaming the rich for their poor life choices.

Nah, I'm just tired of ignorance and shit arguments.
You may not like this, but yes they do make shit choices. Go to college on debt, buy a house that's not within range of expected income. Break up the family unity. Get on drugs. Buy new cars. Buy a TV. Buy a Computer. Consume consume consume. People make shit choices every day.
You still ignored my question. Don't side step. WHAT IS THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD?

I ignored your question because it was buried at the bottom of a wall of inconsistent bullshit. My post is about how Trump, who is a lifelong member of the elite, seems to be playing the role of making mild changes to calm the masses. You countered with a bunch of illogical and irrelevant bullshit. Then you ask a stupid question totally unrelated to what I was saying, in what seems to be an attempt at derailing the conversation. So no, I won't answer your stupid question, and I laugh at your butthurt.
