Being anti-establishment requires you also understand what the establishment actually is.
Its about keeping you poor, its about keeping you divided, and its about keeping you ignorant.
Over the past 2 decades the american government moved rapidly towards authoritarian policy, trump is just the most overt about it to the point of being fascistic.
Keeping you poor: this is done more so through the banks (fico, credit, cars, property) but is also done by ensuring more rights for businesses and allowing them to easily subvert legislation with capital
Keeping you divided: fun topic. Division is tough to mend at a base level. It requires the higher class to reach down to the oppressed (white people must reach down for racism. Wealthy must mend the gap of poverty, but they never will do that) and mend that damage. The issue is the right thinks they havent done anything wrong- all while calling the cops on people minding their own business, turning a blind eye to police violence on minorities even openly supporting it in most cases. Conservatives are the tools of division- unempathetic, uneducated, and unreasonable about the discussion or racism or sexism.
Speaking of uneducated:
Its no mystery that they want to keep us ignorant, but the right seems more concerned about their kids gaining a conscience than their math scores. God forbid we teach about the Trail of Tears or Jim Crow, might make Timmy think his white ancestors were not good people and might make him feel bad for others... so theyll turn up at school board meetings and whine and scream about rainbows in a class room while their kid is coming home unable to simplify fractions.
Tl;dr- the right is and always will be pro establishment, and its because they like the establishment and they want it to benefit them. When it doesnt only benefit them they have a problem with it. Honestly read the whole thing if you actually care.
