Trump did not create the anger
The uniparty did
The article doesn’t say Trump created the anger.
If Trump shot someone on 5th Avenue; if he mocked a sixty year old Republican businesswoman by saying “Look at her face”; if he smeared an eminent Republican brain surgeon by comparing him to a pedophile; and if he joined forces with Mitch McConnell to impugn as “nasty” and “hated” the only man in the Senate with the guts to stand up to McConnell publicly, they would support him anyway. If he praised crony capitalism to win votes in Iowa; if he conveniently flipped his position on a rival’s eligibility when that rival became a threat in the polls; and if, having solidified the support of an angry following by running as anti-establishment, he suddenly pivoted to highlight his close relationships with socialists and his eagerness to “make deals” with that establishment, they would support him anyway.

Yes, yet let's go back further. The uniparty, this collection of the self-serving who will sell their souls today for ill-gotten wealth and reelection tomorrow, was made certain by the corruption of our governing institutions these past 100 years.
Just as an adult woman who was sent as an innocent young girl to live in a whore house will be entirely different from one sent to a nunnery, the result of sending good, conservative men and women to a corrupt congress is certain to be a new batch of corrupted men and women.
What is amazing is that it took so long for both an Obama and a Trump to emerge. Both reflect the thorough corruption of our once free government institutions.
At the birth of societies, the rulers of republics establish institutions, and afterwards the institutions mould the rulers. - Montesquieu.
Trump reflects the thorough frustration of a people who are grasping for solutions to their collective misery. They know that what passes for government is horribly spoiled from its intended purposes and ends, yet cannot envision any solution beyond an electoral process that does little more than serve the interests of the uniparty.
There is only one way to possibly restore the republic, and that is through asymmetric warfare with the uniparty. It is silly to fight them on their turf, the electoral process.
We must out-flank them, and that can only be done through an Article V state amendments convention.
Trumpees succumbed. It isn’t pretty. He is more divisive than bambi. Cult is what it is. Blind faith in one with no logical reason for it, the defense of all indefensible and the joy at attacking any do not agree. Fortunately not enough fell for it for him to win.
