As anyone paying attention knows, intense suspicion of the US government is the only sane position that anyone can possibly have; the error is in assuming that there is no mechanism in place to ensure that the same agendas carry forward from one presidential administration to the next.
The same thing happened after the Obama administration, and the same thing - whether in 2021 or 2025 - will happen after the Trump administration.
The mechanism which ensures the perpetuation of the same policies from administration to administration used to be referred to by analysts as the "Deep state", back before Trump and his supporters hijacked that term and began using it to essentially mean something like "Democrats and anyone who doesn't like Trump".
Originally the term deep state referred not to one political party, nor to some shadowy cabal of Illuminati or Satanists or reptilians, but to the simple and undeniable fact that unelected power structures exist and tend to influence America's official elected government.
At best he'd be a mild reformer who uses the bully pulpit to help spread awareness while being narrative managed on all sides by the billionaire media, and any changes he manages to squeak through which inconvenience the establishment at all will be reversed by a subsequent administration.
Obviously the establishment would rather have someone in the White House who doesn't constantly put an ugly face on the empire by accidentally exposing its mechanics all the time as Trump does, and obviously it would rather have an incompetent oaf like Trump in office than someone who actively points out the evils of oligarchy and imperialism like Sanders.
The unelected power establishment has ways of ensuring its dominance amid the comings and goings of America's official elected government; they are perfectly capable of dealing with one man being a less than ideal steward of the empire.
