Been giving this some thought lately and have come to this conclusion.

It seems that *generally* educated, alleged intelligent types have risen to the ranks of power over the years, almost exclusively lawyers and professional politicians who once they have that power use it to enhance their ego's and pockets more than our country, causing disillusionment from those that feel left behind by these educated, alleged intelligent types that have been in power for so many years (both Dem and Repub), so... along comes time for a change, a vulgar, uneducated, unintelligent, pushy, boorish, loud, crass, petty, non lawyer, non politician comes along that they feel will represent their life view and needs more than previous leaders have.
All those other battle cries are just noise, none of it really matters to them, it's all just excuses to justify putting a simpleton in power who doesn't have the intelligence or articulation to make them feel as stupid as they always have.
