It's not that they are bad people, or even that they are wrong about Trump. It's their inability to broaden their view to see that their "principles" are easily manipulated by bad actors.

Trump is a narcissist. So is almost every politician. Trump is a liar. So is almost every politician. Trump says bad things about people. So does almost every other politician. I believe Americans are so comfortable, that even though they can see things are heading in the wrong direction, they've become more concerned with protecting their own comfortability than doing the hard thing and forcing a reset.

Trump is inarticulate. Every slip of his tongue is magnified and broadcast out to millions of people by a media that has a vested interest in preserving the status quo. However, he has a proven track record of being measured in action if you look at his policies.

Kamala is inarticulate. Every slip of her tongue is buried and excused to millions of people by a media that has a vested interest in preserving the status quo. However, she has a proven track record of forcing bad policies on people via her association with the Biden campaign.

The complacent in our country care far too much about the voice of the establishment, who are really the main culprits shaping the image of these politicians. Yes. Trump says dumb things. He's his own worst enemy. Got it. If he were a supporting the establishment, you wouldn't have half of it broadcast to you. EVERY single person who claimed they didn't understand Biden was "that old" is admitting they were uninformed and lied to. He didn't get "that old" overnight. You simply weren't given an accurate picture. Instead of waking up and realizing that it's the media that's lying to you, you fall for the second half of that trick, which is them convincing you that they didn't know he was "that old" either and you should accept a younger person in his place.... without voting for her, btw.

You guys are so easily manipulated. It saddens me, because we need everyone to start pushing back against the establishment, but we can't because of TRUMP. Unfortunately, we only can because of Trump, too. At some point, you're going to have to face the hard issue of your own discomfort. We may as well start with words, because the result of these progressive policies is going to be SO much worse.

I still don't understand who this "establishment" is.  In your telling they are bad, and Trump works against them.  I can't really think of many things that are both bad and targets for Trump.  Trump isn't going to work on abortion anymore.  He did nothing regarding transgender issues. He did nothing regarding the cost of health care, college education, or housing.  
Then there are the good things that he wants to fight.  He wants to shrink or abandon NATO. He wants to reduce the number of solar panels and electric cars out there.  
The only thing I can think of that Trump actually fought that is actually bad is the out of control migration, and sure, point for Trump.
