It's almost like they are fine with the status quo because they are political elites and won't be nearly as affected by changes as I will.

I mean yeah...

That's why any counter movement needs to also work on getting rid of the two party system.

The Democrats aren't equally bad but they're still bad and you'll inevitably have this ping pong until you change the game.

What Trump supporters want deep down is things to change.

Work with them on that and you'll outnumber the people wanting things to stay the same.

Let us be completely the fucking honest, what Trump supporters want deep down is to be allowed to hate and speak said hate without retribution, not change. These people fight against change. They're terrified of it.

You can’t just get rid of the two party system without abandoning the electoral college and in this climate you’re never getting a constitutional amendment passed.

The electoral college makes the maths impossible.
