This guy is a bit vituperative but nailed the Trump appeal

People are super confused about the takeaway from this election. Trump got the highest turnout any Republican president will ever get. He was a huge driver to get people that don’t usually vote to the polls. It wasn’t about policy. It was about making losers feel like winners. There is no republican that will do the same. This was as good as it will ever be for the red team but they’ve convinced themselves they now own the white trash vote.

News flash- they will go back to sitting at home watching duck dynasty and not voting now.

I don't like the language but he nailed it. There is no R who could have done what Trump did. He weaponized grievance into nuclear weapons- grade material.

3. You are wrong. Trump came from nowhere and blew away the entire party.

The next would be Trump watched carefully. He will make his move in 4 or 8 years. He won't make the same mustakes Trump did.

5. In 8 years he'll be a drooling idiot, or dead.

I know he's a cockroach, but at some point they do die.

8. Like, I said the next Trump is watching and I don't mean a family member.

Mussolini got his ideas from a previous Italian fascist, but he was a better leader, so he made into power and the other guy didn't.

4. They liked him for his tag line "You're fired"

A "rich" reality host.
I sincerely hope if a charismatic autocrat wannabe comes along, they will pay him no mind.

6. The christofascists have been driving to see a christian theocracy in this country for decades...

We started down this path with Reagan. The extremist right had been contained somewhat by the GOP establishment.

Trump blew that all to hell.

Right wing domestic terrorism has been a constant if occasional thing in this country.

I don't think they have given up, I don't think the RWNJ terrorism will lessen. I fear it will get worse.

I don't think the right can put their extremist/fundamentalist nuts back in the jar.

7. I was saying this very thing to my wife this morning.

Thanks for teaching me a new word. Vituperative. I have to admit I had to look it up.

9. I have to agree with this because of the new birth for the dems

The Dems are on an eternal march now. For inclusion. For survival. For a rebirth and a purpose.
We as a nation and in the audience, the world has seen us on the brink. In less than 60 days, begins this country again.

The duck people will remain just that, and they are a dying sector of the population. There's also thrown in there a miss-match of other conservative views, single-issue voters, which again, will not fit in with the forward propelling motion of the momentum.

10. I think this is spot on. 👍

I have two older brothers who are total MAGA cult members. One is 58 and one is 60. They have never, ever voted before in any election, local or otherwise. This year, they both voted for the first time in their lives - for Trump. No doubt in my mind they will never bother themselves again to put forth the "effort" to vote. This was a one-time shot. I'm 100% positive of it.
