I tend to agree that most of the average people supporting Trump do feel this way. Unfortunately in order for the country to be hijacked by a "ruling class" it would have had to have been in possession of the general populous at some point. This has never been the case. It was never envisioned by the founding fathers. Alexander Hamilton stated that very clearly in the Federalist Paper 68 when he wroteQuote:

It was equally desirable, that the immediate election should be made by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice. A small number of persons, selected by their fellow-citizens from the general mass, will be most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations.
It was also peculiarly desirable to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder. This evil was not least to be dreaded in the election of a magistrate, who was to have so important an agency in the administration of the government as the President of the United States. But the precautions which have been so happily concerted in the system under consideration, promise an effectual security against this mischief. The choice of SEVERAL, to form an intermediate body of electors, will be much less apt to convulse the community with any extraordinary or violent movements, than the choice of ONE who was himself to be the final object of the public wishes. And as the electors, chosen in each State, are to assemble and vote in the State in which they are chosen, this detached and divided situation will expose them much less to heats and ferments, which might be communicated from them to the people, than if they were all to be convened at one time, in one place."
Sounds like a blueprint for a ruling class to me.
Not 100% sure but based on Bernie's reported income I don't think he's close to a millionaire although that won't matter because what he says scares people. Real change always does. So the general electorate just dismiss him as a kook. Whewww!!! thank goodness we don't have to face any meaningful change because you know "change is so hard" WHAAAAA!!!!!!Quote:
