And yet Trump-like figures have obtained power outside of the United States as well. I think the demand for Trumpism goes beyond just the personal allure of the man himself, even though that has also been a critical part of uplifting the Republicans’ electoral success.
I’m claiming that Trump mainly channels the protest against the “respectable” elite consensus, and sure, people are fed up with it not only in the US.
Trump has remade the Republican party in his image.
Yep, because it was brain dead already, he pushed and the corpse toppled over. This is a blessing and a curse for the Dems—neither Trump nor anybody else on the right seems likely to offer any positive vision any time soon, so all the Dems have to do is to just be slightly less repulsive, something they impressively managed to bungle twice already!
Has any of this happened?
Yes. They aren’t in (complete) power, therefore some of the agenda has been slowed down.
It seems to me the wokeness craze of 2019-2022 was in large part caused by Trump
And Trump in 2016 was in large part caused by what was then called the SJW craze of 2008-2015. So it goes.
Trump obtaining political power doesn’t seem to have made the left or the elites any more sane, in my estimation. Quite the opposite.
Yeah, I’m not optimistic. Maybe benevolent robot overlords will swoop in to the rescue against all odds after all?
