This sentence struck me to the core

“ They have been elected into office, not necessarily by masses disillusioned with democracy—voters, in other words, who are waiting for someone to start giving them orders—but by those who believe that the democracy we’ve had is a sham: that politicians do not listen to the common people, and that elites control everything.”

Waiting for someone to give them orders-sounds so much like Trump supporters.
