    thinking he was going to do something to improve things

    A very common mistake was in failing to understand the causes & benefits of FDR-style democracy, and the ~four decade age of prosperity that grew out of it. That and thinking that democracy was a birthright.

    Such American voters were always going to be ripe for the grift.
