What those explainers why Trump win don't seem to understand is that the disgust isn't about changing status quo - it's about the person who offers to improve that.
Unless you're going to blindly go after whoever just seems different enough, it seems to be reasonable to think what are the changes proposed - and what's the person proposing them. If some changes seem irrational after evaluating them and the person himself leaves the feeling of urge to check one's wallet, perhaps it's not too un-democratic to wonder if this person should be seriously trusted.
