As someone said, it’s sad that America elected a president that needed adults in the room to restrain him. But, at the same time, this is also how it’s always been. The president is powerful but also constrained by traditions, personnel, and history. I think Trump could not accept this fact and soon shed as many constraints as possible. Because he was rarely challenged or checked, he began to think he could get away with anything. He finds it impossible to accept a reality not to his liking.
Anyway, from my analysis from the outside (I am one of your beloved democratic socialists), there’s a difference between Trumpism, traditional Republican ideology, and populist Republican ideology. Many expected the GOP to throw off Trumpism once he left. Because of his erstwhile popularity, politicians rode on his coattails but they were not sincere. Some still do, which will come back and haunt them. I don’t think the GOP expected it would have to renounce Trumpism and distance itself from it so quickly and so strongly. I look forward to the GOP rebuilding itself, reincorporating traditional Republican and conservative ideas and goals. Trumpism is an aberration.
The left and the right - let us work together to allow America to reach its full potential.
This is common refrain: Trump is bad because, because, because...oh, and other politicians, too. I think its apparent Trump had trouble not running things not as CEO. A non-politician plopped in the ultimate political position, sure there'll be a learning curve.
"Many": like all Ds, many Rs and the full force of the press? Then I agree, many. That doesn't make all the good the Trump accomplished wrong.
What is almost hilarious is how it seems, for the most part, those that were anti-Trump, that turned pro-Trump seem to be the fastest to run for the doors.
Thank you, Erick.
