Ben: The biggest mistake Trumpism made was not adapting after Trump lost in 2020 & it was within the power of the Republican party to do so by convicting Trump in the Senate. Glen Younglin at one time was the face of what I call fascism lite but thankfully Republicans are cowards.

10 years ago, gay Americans could not get married and have it count in all 50 states 20 years ago, you could be made uninsurable because you got sick once 30 years ago, HIV was a death sentence 40 years ago, acid rain was still a problem Dedicated public servants keep pushing good things forward

Having to admit that there's imperfect progress going on undermines their entire worldview.

This is very true. They want a revolution & how can you justify a revolution if the United States isn't irredeemable (even if it's imperfect). I saw a post today implying the US was imploding (which just is not the case). Yes, Trumpism happened but so did the backlash to Trumpism.

Who is "they?" Plenty of leftists want to avoid a revolution. Also, Trumpism is still happening. We'll see what happens in November.

Even if Trump loses, Trumpism won't go away. I am skeptical of the idea that this movement won't find another avatar once the orange guy croaks. And I worry it'll be a more electorally palatable one.
