  • No, because his popularity with the cult of fools is primarily based on two things: 1. talking at a third grade level and 2. fear mongering about black and brown people.

    I suppose you could add "appearing to be rich and successful" and some other ingredients in there. But I think the 2 mentioned are his biggest power sources by far.

  • Aren't most of his current supporters racist enough to not support him if he was so ?

  • I'm not sure anyone can explain the particular confluence of characteristics that makes TFG relatively immune from consequence. Change any one thing and he's suddenly not him, so he loses his unique appeal.

    • This 🔝

      Berlusconi had a similar political appeal. After he exited politics, his party went to the biggest in Italy to insignificant.

      It will be really difficult for someone to pick up the Republican Party and run with the same platform as DJT. Many have tried it (e.g. de santis) but none is able to have the same success.

  • In a pre Trump world, probably not.

    Today? I imagine a lot of republicans would love a black man saying everything Trump says to "trigger the libs".
