Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[Thryleon]

Don't just look at Trump or at the demonstrators on the street. Look at who's behind them and the history of those people and organisations. I don't believe we are witnessing revolution at all, but more an internecine struggle between different warring sections of the elites, with mainly their foot soldiers on the streets, save for a few genuine ones.

Historically speaking that's exactly how revolutions begin and how Governments have been overthrown.  What it usually results in is war.  Sometimes Civil, but over the last 100 years its mainly been more geopolitically focussed.


From what I can see, we are living in a crony capitalist and crony democratic world, where people are sold the illusion of choice and freedom to comply with the ruling class.

Its possible that Trump winning the election has made reality hit home, and Id wager that people are fed up with politics.  The thing is, this isnt isolated to the USA, from what I can see people have been turning away from elections globally and are generally turning to non traditional political options in liew of voting for the status quo because they are genuinely tired of the crap they are served up.
