2. "all leaders lie, all voting is rigged, all media are bought, corruption is normal" this is most

successful pretending to come from the left, promoting "both sides" widespread cynicism.

Everyone's corrupt, corruption is "status quo":

"The point that I make over and over again ... is the ideas that I talk about are ideas that the American people want. They don't get it because you got a Congress indebted to wealthy campaign contributors." Everyone one else is corrupt except the pure populist savior.

"Certainly there are some people in the Democratic Party who want to maintain the status quo. They would rather go down with the Titanic so long as they have first-class seats." All corrupt coastal elites think about is money, unlike the pure populist savior.

"Democrats have focused too much with a liberal elite that is raising incredible amounts of money from wealthy people but has ignored to a very significant degree, working class, middle class, and low income people in this country."

Rigged elections: "'Some people say' that if maybe the system was not rigged against me, I would have won the nomination ... ." There is always some dark force trying to stop the pure populist savior: "they want to make sure that the progressive agenda is not advanced by anyone. They want us to go back to their failed corporatist approach which has led to a massive level of income and wealthy inequality ... ." They will stop at nothing, throw "the kitchen sink."

Media are bought: "The political, financial and media elite of this country will stop at nothing to defeat us." Teh Establishment will stop at nothing to defeat the pure righteous populist savior.
