This is such a common theme.

There are huge systemic problems which the "establishment" will demonstratably not address and Trump appears to be the answer to many voters... but him effectively addressing them is a wild fantasy.

We are about a decade plus into the current political theme of "throw the baby out with the bathwater". It's scary. These people have no plan. It's the levellers and the diggers all over again.

You’re absolutely right, which is why I don’t want the left get tricked into defending a status quo that doesn’t deserve it.

They did not get tricked, they chose to defend the status quo.

That being said much of the messaging about change did not get through because, well, they campaigned conventionally... keeping the status quo.
