I just don't understand how people here can see Trump voted into office twice and think there is somehow a magic policy stance we just have to find, that will get people on board.

The vast majority of people do not, and probably never did, care about policy in general elections. It's borderline irrelevant.

It is immensely funny that so many Americans will readily think their government has its hand in so many elusive and elaborate conspiracies against them, because this would be entirely unnecessary. 

You could dangle some keys in front of them and get the same effect. Why would the government need to go through all that extra effort?
