      If you're committed to maintaining the sanctity of US institutions, there's a good chance you've benefited materially from the status quo.

      A large percentage of Americans hate the status quo. So the "he's undermining our institutions!" charge doesn't particularly register.

          This suggests that his anti-institution actions is going to help anyone other than his ego. They won't.

          It suggests that the "institutionalist" critique only resonates with a very narrow sliver of the population.

          Wanting the US system destroyed could only come from those who never lived w/ true political chaos. Childish desire to see things break.

          Bingo. Trump voters want him to disrupt institutions. That was the point, in fact.

          Depending on how you define 'our institutions', Trump is doing nothing of the sort. Wall St & MIC bolstered, not undermined.
