Politicians breaking campaign promises is not proof that those who voted for them don't approve of their politics. You might not like their politics, but enough people did to elect them, or they would have elected someone else.

Wow that is a thin argument.
If you can't say why, clear case of cognitive dissonance.

I don’t really need to point out the contradiction in that, do I?
People voted for X and got Y, therefore they support Y...

:clown show:
You voted for X and got Y, they voted for Y and got Y, but didn't get everything they want. You are projecting your views on the American electorate, when you are a political misfit, this is why your analysis sucks.

Yeah, again. “Representative” does the exact opposite of everything they campaigned on, and every body knew what they’d really do.

Politicians say lots of different things, just because they don't deliver on the promises you remember the most doesn't mean that they don't keep any promises. If they don't keep any promises they get replaced in short order, they have to keep at least a few important ones, or they lose.

How’s that wall coming? Deportations? Paving the Middle East? Are we Great Again? I mean, he did pass some incredible tax breaks for the corporate masters, and get some really classy real estate deals.
How about the last pres? Did we close Gitmo yet? End the Infinity War?
Clearly, “the people” just wanted the opposite of all that. They knew oh they knew.

The American Electorate did not like Trump or Obama for the reasons you think they did, you are projecting what you think their most important promises were on what the electorate thinks their most important promises were.

Solid, man.
I never said you were properly represented, I said the American electorate was properly represented, you are a misfit whose views don't line up with the vast majority of the American electorate, yet you seem to assume they think exactly like you do, very strange.
oh they knew.
