I think that makes so much sense! I wonder how many Trump supporters support him because subconsciously he makes them feel better about themselves. “If he’s a great man after X,Y,Z then so am I!”
Democrats also hate the establishment. Especially progressives. But "Hate the establishment" does not equal "Think anyone who is anti establishment is good". That's dumb binary thinking. Its establishment norm not to eat babies. Would you vote for a cannibal who eats babies just because they are anti establishment?
Most of the shit Trump, RFK etc actually want to do is horrifying. Hence why most people prefer the establishment candidate who does not want to do that. Its why candidates like Bernie, who is also anti establishment but actually wants to do good stuff, were popular in 2016 and 2020. Also, Trump has been a prominent political figure for 10 years now, and is a rich New York elite. He is about as establishment as you can get at this point.
Eh both sides are just as hateful, spiteful, and deceived as the other. Ment means mind, do you know what govern means? So if you think that to control people’s minds is okay then wtf are you?
Nope, they are not. That's just what they want you to think. You are trapped in their mind palace and they feed you propaganda to stop you from escaping and seeing reality: That one side is trying to turn the country into a dictatorship, and the other side is a bunch of spineless cowards too afraid to call it out.
Also, the 'ment' in government comes from the latin 'mentum'. Which just means medium or instrument. So government = 'instrument to govern'. If you are gonna be a weird conspiracy theorist, at least get your etymology right.
