Both parties knowingly and actively encourage this system, and this system legitimises leaders like Trump. I can't really overstress how much Trump is not a divergence from the norm of the trend of at least a half-century.
Is it fair to blame basically all the bourgeoisie, including Dems, for the rise of Trump? Yeah, almost obviously so. To keep supporting this trend borderline requires you to be deliberately supporting these kinds of leaders.
