We hear it thrown around all the time...right?
Is Trumpism nationalism?
Is it extreme patriotism?
Is it embracing and defending America’s right to sovereignty?
Is it the support and or display of core American values?
Is it preferring a likeminded society?
What is it and why do ‘some’ hold such discontent for it?
Trumpism is an in-your-face, 24x7 never ending dog whistle. Except every human being can hear it. He never puts it down. And you willing rubes chase after it with your tongues flapping in the breeze.
He plays his supporters. He thinks they are morons. He has no respect for his supporters. They're just willingly useful idiots to him. The only thing that interests Trump....is Trump and how he benefits.
Doesn't read, doesn't think, wouldn't know policy if it ran up to him and stole his Quarter Pounder with Cheese, and a carnival barking fraud on top of it.
I hold discontent for it because I weep that our society has fallen to the level of thinking this kind behavior out of our politicians should be normalized.
Another example of Construct Trump, created by the left for their own personal boogeyman, and a Goldstein for their two minute hate.
No, that's Trump...in a nutshell. A bloviating, gaslighting narcissist. Enabled by his loving supporters and the willing asshats in right wing media.
Trump's type of behavior would have never been tolerated in Reagan's era.
