"Hating the people who hate #Trump is the only force that moves GOP voters
How can Trump gain as GOP front-runner as 4 criminal probes crash down on him? Bc hatred of his accusers is the right's secret sauce.
I've been tracking the right for 15+ yrs, I know why prospect of 4 indictments is boosting #Trump
It's a movement that only cares about avenging the people they hate - the people who hate Trump"

8/ "Here’s what’s real: American democracy has been in a doom loop ever since 2015. That’s because the establishment keeps reaching into the traditional toolbox for the things — hard-hitting investigative reporting, congressional hearings, special prosecutors and even impeachment — that always took down the bad guys of yesteryear, like Richard Nixon. The tools don’t work on a movement based around hatred of journalists and prosecutors and even the FBI."

This us what I wroue in 2023:
And here, he is utterly wrong:
👉Exactly these instruments failed utterly in the #Hitler-sponsored coup attempt of 25 Members of Congress and their rank-and-file operatives of the #AmericaFirst movement/party in the 1940's:👈👈

Alas, insufficiently researched, but still (guessed) correctly.

4/ His "occasional rambles into policy...are not what this campaign is about.
Trump’s only real promise is a red wedding of revenge, against a “deep state” that ranges from the FBI to COVID bureaucrats, against the army of prosecutors who happen to be Black, against anybody really — school teachers and college professors, or white-coated doctors, or journalists — that people willing to stand for eight hours in Texas dust think are looking down on them"

5/ "Why is this working? Don’t ask the pundits who get paid 6 figures to talk about politics, who seem just as clueless today about Trump & more importantly, his appeal than when he cruised down that Trump Tower escalator ...I’ve spent a lot of time since 2000s listening to people on the right ...& their message is pretty unambiguous. Their movement isn’t defined by what they want but by whom they hate, and Trump is the first politician who could articulate that rage with crude bluntness"

6/ "For people fearful that whites or churchgoers are becoming a minority in America, or angry that cosmopolitan elites were redefining society as a rigged meritocracy where people without diplomas could be viewed as losers, Trump’s hokey 2016 message that “I am your voice” resonated. But the perceived slights of the seven years since then...have inspired 2023′s much more dangerous message, that he is “your retribution.”

7/ "In an unreality zone called MSNBC, producers have reinvented the Trump saga as a political version of the O.J. Simpson trial — sometimes giving the whole hour to breathless coverage of the legal dramas for a shrinking audience in McWhorter’s “blue America.” Those viewers remain certain that Bragg or Jack Smith or Fani Willis will finally take down Trump despite seeing that the Access Hollywood tape and two impeachments and everything else did not."

2/ "With every headline about porn star payoffs, or threatening phone calls demanding that Georgia politicians find him votes, or a more aggressive federal investigation of his attempted coup on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump seems to rise another point or two in the polls — building a huge early lead in the race to win the GOP’s 2024 White House nod."

3/ "No one knows how a scenario like this ends. But it clearly cannot end well. Will America really see a 2024 campaign where 1 party’s leading candidate isn’t jetting around to rallies on Trump Force 1 but instead is flown between courtrooms in NY, Atlanta & DC by armed marshals, wearing an ankle bracelet? & what if GOP nominee is convicted? How serious to take Trump’s prediction in a post of “potential death & destruction” if he’s charged? What to expect from fans vowing “Trump or Death”?
