I was speaking to others on them doing a comparison of both candidates as to understand why some consider Trump a dictator and also Hillary a dictator. The answer was FASCINATING.

I said Republican establishment for a reason because they tend to share the same worldview as the Democrat establishment. In a very real sense what the members of both parties think really doesn't matter to the elites. As this is a fourth turning it seems likely that this is about to change. In order to understand what is happening in this election I would recommend that you read the Scott Adams blog. I pointed you to a good starting point and I suggest that you continue on from there, in the order that they were posted. Unless you understand the persuasion game, this election will never make sense to you. Come to think of it, you will get insight into New Zealand elections as well which is not a bad thing.
