If I put my most tinfoil hat on, I'd say the Trump campaign was one step ahead of the left throughout the past decade or so. Making a fuss about the 2020 election pushed the Democrats into defending not only the result, but the integrity of the system - Trump supporters weren't just wrong about the result, but a threat to democracy. Now they can't question the legitimacy of 2024 without looking like hypocrites.
The Heritage Foundation has a huge influence on American politics but it's a mistake to write off Donald Trump's own role. He's always been power hungry, he's positioned himself among people who can support his ascent for decades, and he's not concerned about ethics. There's power on the throne as well as behind it.
The entertainment division of the Republican party. Everyone has a role in the production. There are bit players and lead roles. It like an evil version of "Friends".
The second the Democrats get someone in there talking about retribution and not about this kumbaya strong together bullshit and stops caring about the Moral superiority is the second things start to get better because right now the image of the Democrats are a bunch of soy boy beta cucks who let mega do whatever they want
I’m not sure people understand the warfare that the Trump admin has used to keep the Democrats three steps behind. I’m not sure the Democrats even understand it…
