I have always wondered about this sort of thing. Powerful people are only powerful because people choose to obey them.

    Not even obey. Many people willingly follow along mostly because they think someone they don't like will get hurt. Trump isn't destoying the US on his own. He is being aided by a large portion of the conservative population.

    I mean that's gross oversimplification, they also use violence of the state to force what they want
