If there is a bigger set of credulous morons, I don't think I can think of them off the top of my head.
The thing is, there is a subset of men - and it is almost entirely men - who are sucked into a sort of Manichean worldview where there is "corruption" in our institutions and therefore the person who is attacking and dismantling our institutions is some sort of ally. Honestly, this is the saga of the guy who shot the health insurance exec. It's confusing unfair with illegal or even just corrupt.
Institutions are flawed and in constant need to repair and reform. Destroying them is not going to go the way you think.
For years, Martin Longman has been articulating that anti-monopoly should be the Democratic version of populism, and I think he's being proven prescient.
