I agree with your take, and in that sense Trump is unique.
You’re description of the little guy strikes me as a good observation, but I don’t see Leftist little guys wanting to be good. They tell themselves that they do, and then they trash Trump and us as if we are the great Satan.
As you said, I just want to lead my life, be good to other, help out a relief agency and not tell myself I’m better than someone else because I did, and then go out and trash people who are very decent people just because they backed Trump.
They also slander at will calling others racists or misogynists, or whatever else they can think up.
The projection is alarming.
I agree with your description of wanting to be a decent human being. Regular people are like that, of course it is a continuum. But bad people are driven by lust to control and use others, whether they have the ability to have a powerful position or not. We’ve all met those kind of people in small positions.... But those who lust for power like that, definitely gravitate to powerful positions one way or another.
I don’t see any solution to get through this without great suffering. And in fact, serious changes of heart are needed. And clearing the decks of those who are basically fiends in human form, from positions of power.
