The public thinks Trump will piss off the powers that be more than anything ever, and it looks like they're right. Sure, the immigration issue, not advocating WW III, and pledging to really put America's interests first were highly attractive, but the biggest attraction of Trump is that he is the F.U. candidate, and this was the F.U. election. He actually isn't worse so far, he's doing masterfully, and 90% in the right direction, with the rest being plausibly tactical moves. Continuous repetition of insults eventually starts to sink in no matter how contrary to truth. Trump has a much clearer picture of what is going on and what needs to be done about it than his critics, who are useful idiots for America's enemies and parasites, or are active enemies themselves. He also has far greater ability to execute his plans than his opponents.

His opponents in media and academia don't even realize that they were / are the powers that be, let alone that their salad days are over. They're going to get absolutely creamed by all the people they vilified, blacklisted, bankrupted, student-loan enslaved, discriminated against and sneered at. They don't have any inkling of the lasting strength of righteous wrath against them, that it isn't at all out of the question that they will be not only dispossessed as they have acquiesced in the dispossession of the American people, but executed: advocates of mass immigration, affirmative action, and of the many measures that suppressed the absolute and relative fertility of Whites (so causing exponential population decline , a.k.a. genocide) are all prosecutable today if you squint at the law a bit, and they won't have the judges on their sides much longer.

Actually Trump is just about their last chance to avoid the rope, once there starts to be violence from the right, once a large fraction of them think that there is no longer order to be preserved, that order has to be reimposed, you will see violence on a scale and with a level of coordination that the left cannot begin to match. If Trump is assassinated or removed from power, that will be the starting gun for a no-kidding, all-out genocidal civil war in which most of the current academic and media elites will likely die early on. Last chance. Trump is their only real friend in all the world. Spinners in the hands of an angry mob holding them forth over the fiery pit, will they repent?
