OK, I misquoted. But immediately after this "summary" you said you agree that we should listen to the majority (whatever it means) and try to make most people happy.
And then you go on ranting how uneducated they are and how you can only get binary answers from them (happy/unhappy). And somehow you conclude that the fact you can't communicate with them means you already understand everything they need, namely jobs, sex, entertainment and government handouts.
My point, and while I can't speak for Trump I think his too, is that what they need is to understand WTF is going on in economy and politics and have their say in these matters too. There's no point "working to exhaustion" (pretty much your words) if it all goes to support things you disagree with.
Politics and journalism is utter shit nowadays. See Republicans nominating Trump hoping to capitalize on bitter people. For real lulz, see Democrats nudging Republicans to nominate Trump (somebody dropped a link to wikileaks emails here) hoping they will make him look like idiot in TV and win. See the hysteria about the dumbest things Trump said in futile effort to scare people away from him.
Some people are fed up watching such games. Some don't want their emotions fucked with by zealots. Some don't want their taxes to fund gender studies and "affirmative actions" considering them bullshit. Some understand that "government giveth, government taketh away" (see the posts I linked). Some believe that countries should work on principles of individual freedom and market-based cooperation, not central planning.
And many of them don't speak in the media, don't feed twitter trolls and don't post to HN. They vote. Whether he actually wants their good or not, Trump seems to have got it.
> And if you have a point you forgot to mention it.
Be careful with that attitude. Sometimes silence indicates not acceptance but conflict.
