VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: P.C. Suppression Of Public Concerns Fuels Trump’s Popularity:

Pundits cite Trump’s verbal sloppiness and ridiculousness as proof that he must soon implode. But Trump sees his daily bombast as an injection of outrage for a constituency now hooked on someone who finally voices their pent-up anger. The more reckless Trump’s doses of scattergun outrageousness, the better the fix for his supporters. Trump’s vague “make America great again” was the natural bookend to Barack Obama’s even more vacuous “hope and change.”

The popularity of such empty slogans reflects a culture in which no one any longer trusts institutions, the media, government, or politicians. The public no longer respects U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the IRS, the VA, or the GSA. Even the once-hallowed Secret Service has become a near laughingstock of incompetency, corruption, and politicization. Is the purpose of NASA really Muslim outreach, as NASA chief Charles Bolden suggested in 2010?

The world that we are told about by our government bears no resemblance to what we see and hear every day.

Yep.
