    But they aren’t telling it like it is. They just insult and harass you for asking anything that questions their rule.

      I don’t disagree, but if the often excuse of “our hands are tied” in actuality means “we don’t give a fuck about you”, voters feel they might as well vote for the person who never even pretends to care to begin with. It’s a sign of voter apathy and loss of trust in the system.

        You’re giving them way too much credit. They like Trump because his vocabulary consists of words a fifth grader would use, so they can actually listen to him without feeling completely lost and out of their depth (note: they’re still completely lost and out of their depth). There’s also a large subset of voters who treat politics like football and wouldn’t ever vote against their team.
