The 4 pillars of the Democrat party are, currently:
- Big tech
- The intel and security services
- The film industry and a key share of legacy media
- The lion’s share of global finance (‘wall street’)
That’s all you need: Money, enforcement and propaganda, it has been a winning combination.
What changed for the dems by 2016 was the intel services basically flipping sides. I guess living in Virginia to a large extent they were finally sick of the religious right.
Other interests (Israel, military industrial) tend to cleave to both sides.
What you get with Trump, I guess, is anti-all the above (“Wall street” is replaced with his own money to some extent), plus more religion.
“None of the above” is the obvious option that almost nobody will take.
