what we’re seeing isn’t being “unhappy with the status quo”. It’s believing in fairy tales. It’s believing in conspiracy theories.
I think when people become unhappy with the status quo, they are more likely to believe in fairy tales and conspiracy theories, especially if those messages are coming from a seemingly strong leader promising a return to glory. I don’t think it would be a terrible thing if Democrats tried harder to look strong and promise that they’re going to make America great, only without the conspiracy theories and scapegoats. I think a lot of people really need to hear that message, and if the “good guys” aren’t willing to offer that message, someone with less than honorable intentions will.
Dems promise status quo. America as a whole does not want status quo. Cost of living keeps going up while technology rips apart society in ways we would have never predicted a decade ago.
As long as the only alternative to Trump is status quo, Trump will always win. The DNC’s only real concern is maintaining the current power structure. But it’s like Blockbuster ignoring the rise of Netflix. The winds have changed. The future is going to be radically different for better and definitely for worse.

Trump got elected because the US electoral system is undemocratic. He doesn’t need 51%, not even close.
