RANT - THE ESTABLISHMENT WINS2020 is going to be a resounding victory for the Democratic establishment.Donald Trump would lose to a rusty trash can, but when Biden wins, Dem leaders will claim that shunning the left and embracing Bush-era war criminals is what did it.— Peter Daou (@peterdaou) October 25, 2020
Trump is not who that person is talking about. He's not an ethno-nationalist or any kind of nationalist.
Yes, on a personal level, he is a dumb dipshit who has some racist beliefs from the teevee like your republican uncle, but he has no coherent governing ideology. He is an empty vessel. Any policy he has done has come approved by his donors and shoved under his nose to sign.
Totally fair—I was just riffing. Nevertheless, I maintain that the GOP is too blinded by ideology to reorient toward a more populist leaning, barring a massive bottom-up internal rising in the coming months. But it’s the 2020‘s, so anything is possible!
