Paranoia About Trump's Constituency

The "coastal elites" hate Donald Trump, at least the ones who control the mainstream media do. Why?

Trump: Al Sharpton for Middle America?

I don't think the man Trump really poses much of a threat to the status quo or the establishment (the coastal elites [The Sea People]). On the other hand, his constituency does pose a serious threat to the status quo. The tens of millions, or maybe hundreds of millions of Americans in middle America--the scorned flyover country--are a threat. When they wake up to the fraud of the financial system, and its symbiotic enablers in DC, they can just shrug and shed it overnight as they have in the past. The paper wealth of crony billionaires is actually dwarfed (I am guessing) by the real wealth of all the real property, and potential labor, expertise, and energy of this mass of productive people. That mass of people can actually just reset the financial system to their benefit and wipe out the wealth of those currently on top.

Trump shows that these people can be organized relatively easily. He also shows that they're not receptive to the old methods of control--the mass media facade has cracked. The various bogeymen that are trotted out to scare them don't work as well anymore. Repeatedly calling Trump's supporters Nazis for example has probably succeeded more in un-demonizing the Nazis than it has in peeling away his constituents to Hillary Clinton and the people she represents (deep state DC, and the NYC financial mafia).

Similarly, attempting to whip up racial strife via Black Lives Matter, or by race baiting in the mainstream media seems to be backfiring. The US is effectively segregated. Angry black people in city centers aren't much of a threat to white people living in suburbia or rural America. Identity politics, rather than dividing and conquering the United States, has possibly succeeded in prodding white people into playing the same game.

However, in a modern nation, a nation of immigrants, identity politics--white identity politics specifically--is very diluted. It might only serve to make people think about their self interest--of their family and community rather than their nonsense racial identity. Similarly, Trump is just a step along a path toward organizing against DC and NYC. He's tapped into the emotional reaction against the status quo, but provides no real alternative to it. He's a figurehead.

If Hillary Clinton wins, I think there's a greater chance for real political cracks to open up in the United States. The Trump constituency, and others who dislike the establishment will start to organize.

If Trump wins, I think the status quo, the establishment remain at the helm for four or eight more years, as his constituents will look to him and the US political and financial system for change, rather than changing it themselves.
