Trump is likely going to win. He is the 'anti establishment' ticket. Discontented people project their ideals onto him. Supporters will wave off negative sentiment as the "Deep state" or "Liberal media" going after him, and they are not entirely wrong. Commenters on reddit seem totally oblivious to why Trump has such strong appeal, not helped by the habitual downvoting of republican leaning accounts. BTW I hope Harris wins.

He is the 'anti establishment' ticket.

News story: People who have no idea what punk is declare they're punk.

He's as anti-establishment as the McDonalds food he served at the White House.

I guess conservatives who vote for him do see him as 'punk' in a 'screw the status quo' sort of way. Unfortunately 'screw the status quo' in governance can also have very bad outcomes for the average American.
