@awl This is not a new or original thought, but I firmly believe we've been going in this sort of direction since ~2008 and that it's going to sort of die off in the next couple of years. Obama was elected on a very similar note to Trump, and Trump was elected on a very similar platform to what a lot of these celebrities and other outsiders will try to run on in 2018 and 2020. We're very much in a "that old thing sucks, let's replace everything" state of mind right now, which I think was part of Hillary's problem. She ran her campaign in a way that made her seem like Obama II, so it was very easy for her opponents—both Trump and Sander—to say "everything sucks and she won't do anything about it".
