Revolutions are funny things. Generally speaking, they occur because some sufficient number of people have legitimate complaints, and have finally had enough of the current regime. Thus, the French Revolution, in which the aristocracy lived very high on the hog at crushing expense and injustice to the peasantry -- this is the usual dynamic.
What set our revolution apart from the others, is three things:
First, the Americans of the time were John Adams' "moral and religious people," and as individuals they were highly self-sufficient -- a combination that leads to a good deal of common sense and responsible action.
Second, the revolution came about as Britain tried to reassert its authority over the colonies, which had in large part been self-governing for decades during the English Civil War and the unrest that followed. It wasn't really a "revolution" in the same sense as the French Revolution -- it was more an armed consummation of a long-existing state of affairs. The American colonists figured they could do a better job themselves. But a large number of loyalists were left out in the cold....
And third, Americans had (and took) the option of moving west -- there wasn't the same "pressure cooker" dynamic as occurred in densely-populated and confined France.
Trump's approach is far more similar to the French revolution -- his demagoguery is aimed at inflaming the pre-existing frustrations of a particular segment of the population.
But I think Trump is running on several themes which conservatives/Republicans have been asking for, for years. Non-violent revolution:
1. Stronger border security.
2. Fewer refugee type immigrants.
3. Economic common sense, regarding trade. Fair trade, instead of Free Trade as it has been implemented lately.
4. Americans first, before illegal immigrants, refugees, etc.
5. Supreme Court not going further left.
6. Stop sanctuary cities.
7. Peace through strength.
So along he comes, with policies many have asked for, and since they don't like his personality, or don't like every aspect of his life history, they mentally shut down like sniveling infants and throw tantrums.
