To clarify, for decades the career politicians have lied repeatedly to the people and operated as if they're running their own private shadow government. For decades every single election they get up there and say, "We're going to rebuild our country" but it just declines. Of course some believed these corrupt individuals. But the reality is, they're all doing business for the boys with the big buck$, fat corps etc. Lets not kid each other, they couldn't care less about Middle America. In fact some of these political freaks have nothing but contempt for it.

If this historic election isn't enough for you to understand the majority of Americans have, "had enough" of this lying loser leadership and do not support it, then I help ya.

Let's deal with that last subject after Election Day. Until then, we have no idea just how "historic" this election is.

In any case, I don't think there are too many people out there who believe that either candidate is going to do what is necessary to address this underlying problem. Anyone who believes that a candidate is going to cut their Social Security and/or Medicare entitlements by X% is NOT going to vote for that candidate.

What could happen (not likely right now) is that the gap in standards of living between generations gets big enough that a younger cohort effectively tosses their older cohort out on the street. It's much easier for a candidate to sell the idea of cutting entitlements by X% if he's only looking to appeal to voters who have no illusions about getting those entitlements anyway.
