"Trump’s fluency in the language and tropes of Fox News allows Republican voters to hear their specific worldview parroted back to them in a way they have never seen before. When figures like Bush or McCain spoke to a general audience, these voters felt a sense of betrayal, but when Trump speaks in their language and on their issues, it deepens their loyalty even as things fall apart.

Why Trump's base loves him even as he fails them

"The story that says: you have been robbed, and someone must pay, and the paying is more important than the building.

That story is as old as demagoguery. It is the original political malware."

"Grievance is what brought us to this brink.

Not policy disagreement. Not ideological difference. Not even legitimate anger at legitimate injustice — that anger has its place, and its place is in the arena, not the street, and certainly not the gun. I mean the cultivation of grievance as a political identity. The transformation of resentment into a worldview."

We Will Find Each Other Again

I am writing this as an American who is ashamed.

Notes from the Circus

"Certain individuals and movements seem geared toward perpetual opposition. When one grievance is corrected, another is found. When one enemy is defeated, another is sought. What explains this perpetual need for enemies?"

What explains the perpetual need for political enemies? | Aeon Essays

Politics today is driven by grievances that can never be assuaged. For democracy’s survival, we must grapple with this dynamic

Geez. How dumb can these people be? It's b/c The Right has been exploiting "#GrievancePolitics" laced with racism ever since Obama was elected in 2008.

Trump is the pure "Id" candidate. Total narcissist who tells his low IQ followers exactly what they want to hear: "It's all the fault of the people you were right to hate all along (Democrats, blacks, Mex'cuns, gays, Drag Queens, etc, etc.)"

Right on cue, Trump:

“Racist Columnist Charles [blah blah blah…] writes that I should be prosecuted by Radical Left, Soros Backed Lunatics, even without evidence, because I'm WHITE…”
