I think what defines is his core supporters is their contempt for the political system and how much the country has changed.

Yes, I agree, there is a group that rejects the Constitution, democratic institutions, and the rule of laws. Perhaps some out of contempt, perhaps some out of ignorance, perhaps some out of ideology and perhaps some because they think that they can make a buck by doing so.

Yes, there are organizations and websites that cater to each of these groups.

And yes, there has been a lot of change in our lifetimes. I keep getting reminded of the years just before the Civil War. With massive population and territorial growth in the country, huge innovations in communications like railroads, telegraphs, and mass circulation newspapers, and significant industrial and agricultural changes.
