And just screw the poor and the sick, right?
On second thought, yeah, that sounds exactly like Republican conservatism.

Originally posted by EladarI'd agree, except for the fact that Trump promised to "drain the swamp" only to pass an executive order deregulating Wall Street...because his "friends" can't "borrow money". This means, clearly, Trump is an establishment type; this also means, by your own definition of "establishment type", that Trump is "bought and controlled".

OK, not all just all establishment types.
Most Republicans and a vast majority of Democrats.
