I thought it was pretty obvious that I was talking less about Trump the person and more about the ideas and stances he espoused. The stuff that got him elected in 2016 and that got voters out in record numbers in 2020. The violent pushback against Trump we see happening now within the party will be seen as a rejection of those ideas as well, and those 75 million voters will remember that in 2022.
Meanwhile the Democrats will continue to devour their own as we saw them doing in the lead up to the election, especially now that the chips are all in their pile.
I hope both parties self destruct and split, honestly. The idea that 330 million people can be broken down into red vs blue has been ridiculous for ages.
I think Trump himself lost sight of what got him elected the first time, and made him such a fresh outsider candidate for many. In 2016, he ran on populist rhetoric, but didn't really specify much. He vowed to bring jobs back, but largely failed to make that materialize - quite famously in some states with some scam tax cuts for giant factories that never turned into what was promised. Ben Shapiro famously endorsed him in 2020 after not endorsing him in 2016, stating correctly that Trump governed as a tax cut neocon for the most part, with one of the sole differences being - not starting another war (even though he assassinated a foreign general). In 2020, his campaign was scattered and largely without a cohesive message. He criticized ANTIFA and declared he was the law and order president, he ran on minimizing COVID, and then the only glimmer of his former self we saw was his endorsement of the 2k checks.
I don't think even he understood his appeal, and clearly a huge chunk of his voters didn't care about the specifics, and just followed the man himself.
