There is a whole wave of potential voters who dont vote for similar reasons that I listed. Its not going to get better, and its not "the peoples" fault. Its too much corruption and it gets so confusing to some people so they withdraw totally. I grew up in an area who had a lot of corruption in local politics. Its a massive tun off.
On a side note, I seem to remember reading an article a loooong time ago that predicted celebrities will eventually take over politics. Celebrities have a lot of money, resources and fans. They also usually talk a lot about politics. I figure its very realistic to think that this will happen.
There are specific examples out there that "Donald Trump being president" has been a specific joke for decades. I recall the jokes 20 or so years ago were that someday Donald Trump or Hulk Hogan would be president.

I actually remember watching the episode of Oprah with my mom and sisters 20+ years ago when she basically told America that Trump would make a very great president and to expect to see him there one day. I grew up watching Trump headline the news here and there basically my entire life. They always loved him, but they hate him now. I think a lot of older people remember when the media, even democrats, were pumping Trump up as a savior candidate, but now he's satan. All the more reason to withdraw. Why so many flip flops ya know?
Heck I can remember when stopping illegal immigration was a democrat issue. I remember it well. Heck I think even Bernie Sanders agrees with it but hes not allowed to be honest anymore or he too will be racist.
Where is the appeal in this? Why would I want to vote for Trump only to be called a racist for it and hated by the democrats? Why would I vote for Hillary only to be called a commie and hated by the republicans? Too much hate, too much division, too much insanity. Not worth it.
