I'm not offended at all. I just happened across that video a few days ago, I saw the line I quoted in the article, and connected the dots from that video to the quote.

I suppose it is entirely possible I misunderstood the point the guy in the video was trying to make. I certainly didn't mean to come across as offended.

I wouldn't say "reeling" I would say "rejoicing"--we are desperate to get back any semblance of regular people having control over the levers of power in the US. ANY SEMBLANCE.

I'm curious - how has anything Donald Trump done since becoming President Elect shown regular people having control over the levers of power? Best I can see, he's taking the same old Republicans (Giuliani, Gingrich) and reinstalling them into government, throwing in some lobbyists and his extremely rich son-in-law for good measure.

Seriously, Trump, Bannon, Guiliani, and the rest of those ghouls you consider to be 'regular people'?

Please enlighten us with your definition of "regular people" here and ask yourself if the line worker at a Ford factory is necessarily instantly qualified to the CEO.

Wow, I didn't know that a billionaire was a regular person. I guess anyone is a regular person then.

Okay, but outside of self-serving fantasy, how does Trump getting elected relate to that?

Except for the odd wealthy white nationalist exception, it's Washington insiders and lobbyists all around.

Seems to me you bought a can of snake oil.
