Trump's constant refrain is "I'm so good at business. I have so much money". And Occupy Wall Street and the anti-1%'ers have changed what fundamental aspects of US society, exactly? Sanders is something less mainstream, but he was always trailing the 'business-as-usual' candidate.
Also, speaking from an outsider's perspective, it seems to me that the US was less religious just before the 9/11 attacks than it is now.
