Trump is the lump that appears once the cancer has already taken root. A slim majority of the American populace reject the progressive status quo of the past 30 years and demand radical change. The only non-violent avenue which has net that radical change is Trump; he is the sign of much deeper societal malcontent with the facade of a 'democratic republic' which represents neither the interests of the people or the laws presented to it.

And actually - I disagree with the premise, I think Trump ran as an old school Democrat, and people who voted for him equally if not more so rejected the conservative status quo of the past 30 years.

So it’s really something like 35% who strongly disagree with the direction we have taken in the past 30+ years. But of those I’m sure you could break them down further. It’s not a monolithic bloc.
