These articles that focus on the delusional "base" who thought Trump would "do something" to better their dismal life situations are analysing the wrong people. Why not some focus on the obscenely rich backers of Trump who paid for the think tanks, the advertising, the strategy, and continue to fund and support him in the expectation he will deliver Obamacare on a plate and tax cuts for them all. It is pointless to rant and rave about extremism, twitter messages while this malevolent money force continues behind the scenes. The republican right wing has succeeded in passing Citizens United so they can dump unlimited amounts of money into the electoral sytem that they've also managed to jerry rig so they are almost unbeatable in the next election .. and the one after that.. and the next.... Trump is the logical outcome of this undemocratic oligarchic system and its time the media paid attention to it.
