  2. Trump's position is strong because he's got a proven track record; a positively superior candidate would be needed to displace Trump, and the dems don't have any. The average person doesn't think the president, or any other govt actor, is all that important; it's the position that has power, not the person administering in that position--ideally, absent corruption. And our system of checks and balances prevents bad actors from seriously perverting their positions, they believe. So, they don't vote; barely half the eligible population votes! Most people trust the machine to continue running regardless the particular functionaries managing the process. People don't give much credence to the reality of corruption in politics. They KNOW about from things they've heard, but don't SEE it in their worlds, so it has a large imaginary quality, a certain "untrueness" about it that prevents it from figuring into the usual calculations that people make about the world they SEE...it's kind of "not real". My casual perception of politics makes it practically impossible for me to talk to anyone about politics. Not only are we not on the same page, or even the same BOOK, but I'm in a different library...probably on another planet...hehehe Most people just haven't taken the trouble to realize HOW POLITICAL CORRUPTION WORKS. If they did, they'd realize it's EVERYWHERE, ALL THE FUCKING TIME!
