What Trump is pulling off is a massive public empowerment, against the control freaks who have infested our lives while claiming to be keeping their hands off our junk.
What's great is that the event is so unusual, the press can't keep their eyes off it! The cycle is self-feeding, and it is so because of the personality of Trump, the anxiety and excitement he causes in "the usual suspects," and ratings. I can;t think of any other person who could possibly trigger this sort of event - and as a sign that it is genuine and will work, Trump's message hasn't changed, he's not being "phony," and he hasn't stepped too hard on his own crank.
It's not as though Trump is the first person to talk like this. I can find articles going back decades that express the same sort of thing (James Burnham, Suicide of the West, to name one from 1970's), but the politicians and enabling press are marching to the trans-nationalist drummer.
I can think of several persons who could have deconstructed the Democrat Party from their side. But, I agree, Trump is about it for the good guys.
