Contrarian then delves into the reasons behind Trump’s unexpected victory in the 2016 presidential election. He suggests that many Americans felt alienated from the government and saw Trump as a strategic partner who would serve their interests, rather than another politician representing the government to the people. While Contrarian admits to not being a fan of Trump’s style, he praises some of his policies, such as tax cuts and deregulation.

The article takes a surprising turn when Contrarian discusses a graphic that shows a significant number of Americans supporting either the use of force to restore Trump to the presidency or the use of force to prevent Trump from being president again. Contrarian expresses his concern over the level of alienation and irrationality present in the country and warns against the dangerous consequences of such division.
Contrarian believes that Trump is a symptom of the deeper issue of Americans feeling targeted by their own government. He fears that the nation is on the brink of a civil war-like situation and emphasizes the need for Americans to govern themselves without weaponizing politics or legal institutions. In his conclusion, Contrarian makes a call to relearn how to view solutions and concerns without solely relying on Washington, D.C.
