      Someone like trump who had a specific ideological goal rather than being purely motivated by self interest could accomplish more profound and fundamental changes to the country

      I just feel like continuing down this line of argument we’re gonna get into apologia for why Obama couldn’t end the war on terror rather than why he /didn’t want to/

      Maybe The "soft power" elements of the system keeping someone who is both truly committed to and truly capable of radical change out of the White House are real, major parts of the system though

      Like they'll probably be arguing for years about "how exactly did Trump slip through the cracks here" But surely part of it was that he slipped through *because* he was not just reckless and unhinged but also profoundly stupid and ignorant

      I don't want to say this in like a conspiratorial Illuminati way, like "Oh they deliberately let him in with the intention of letting him fail to convince the American people to accept change is impossible" I think it's simpler than that

      It's the same reason that nobody who spontaneously runs onto a football field while the game is going on is capable of stripping the ball from its carrier and running it in themselves for a touchdown Even when that is their clearly committed intention

      Like, if you run for President on a "FUCK THE SYSTEM" platform and go "FUCK THE SYSTEM" to everyone you talk to all day If things are fucked enough, you might win, and winning the election will feel really good

      But then life is going to become unpleasant as HELL once you're actually doing the job and you actually succeeding at your goals will involve a lot of VERY tense meetings and a lot of people yelling at you and making you feel bad

      And you're gonna have to answer a lot of difficult, complex questions about what exactly it is you want done and if you haven't researched the answers well you'll feel like a dumb asshole and bad things will happen you didn't expect

      All of this did, in fact, happen to Trump, because he's an idiot, and idiots are the kind of people who run onto the field in the middle of a game

      A great athlete *could* in theory run onto the field in a middle of a game, but the process of becoming a great athlete would give them enough information about what this would entail that they would become discouraged from doing it Because it is objectively very hard

          It's like how the usual reason "crime doesn't pay" is that most criminals are just drunk dumbasses doing something they didn't think through Crime *could* pay if smart people were committed really hard to making money from an illicit profession, and sometimes they are

          But the really smart people are more likely to find a way to do the shady shit they want to do to fuck people over that *doesn't* clearly put them on the wrong side of the law and vulnerable to going to prison
