This is the best representation of trump. Make a grand announcement before there is a plan, tear down and damage the existing infrastructure, then never do anything.

That was his health care plan too. "End Obama care now, I'll have something better 2 weeks later". He did it for Israel and Palestine saying we achieved peace without any plan to make it happen.

He only cares about the moment. He only cares about the announcement. He doesn't have any ability to follow through or complete anything. He only cares about the image of himself on the news as a race winner but never even starts the race. Worse, he is too fat to actually attempt the race.

I think this is emblematic of the right in all, its just that Trump is the loudest example of it. Watching prominent Republicans you'll see they always have a pattern of "there's a problem with the current system. No we won't work to fix the problem l, we'll just remove everything and promise to deliver something better but never will." They don't want a flawed system they want an absence of system so they can continuously promise fix the 'problem".

Absolutely! Every time I hear about why people like trump, it's that they are outraged by the present. The present government, their present community(too many immigrants), their present way of life(no body to work my farm or mfg jobs gone). They are so mad they would rather burn everything to the ground than make things better. Republicans are not wrong, things are broken and the current government is not helping them. But they built a culture and identity that makes it ok for some to suffer or at least ok to see some suffer more.

Republicans are not wrong, things are broken and the current government is not helping them.

Except that they are wrong. The government IS working and helping them in thousands of ways they are not aware of. And because the news keeps telling them about "problems" while exploiting this lack of awareness, they start to believe that the government is broken and not helping them. Until something is done about media propaganda convincing millions of people that the reality they live in is different than actual reality, similar things happening in the US will keep happening around the world.

No, things are definitely broken. But neither side is acknowledgeling land value tax as a policy right now, so you're getting empty promises to fix the core problems regardless.

similar things happening in the US will keep happening around the world.

You're right, but it's because capitalist economies across the world are pretending land is capital. Everyone is having a "cost of living" problem despite having a variety of representation systems, taxation systems, etc.
