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.
