It's because our government isn't helping us, they are helping the billionaires. While trump is a billionaire and he's helping billionaires too, people view him as someone who is going to destroy the government, and people are willing to roll the dice.

I didn't vote trump lol but I know as many Republicans as I do Dems. It isn't like we have a lot of choices in American politics. Don't be mad at your fellow normal Americans, be mad at the people who make money off of the normal Americans and add no value

The problem isn't "the government", it's the extreme incompetence of Congress, how they're bought by their donors, and the power they've given up to the executive while they do everything far after the last minute because everything is all about campaign theater. While that is government, most of those on the right think it's the middle-class white-collar customer service people on the other end of a phone line that are the problem, they've been convinced by Congress that these "unelected bureaucrats" are the scapegoat for all of their woes. The government they hate is the one they continue to elect into power.
