  1. Trump is going to be shocked when he finally realizes that it's not 2016, and he's not running against Hillary.
    81
  2. T.Kizer Söze They've already flipped back. Trump hasn't gained any new supporters since the election. He's only lost supporters. His own presidency has exposed him for the fraud and traitor that he is. Trump barely won in 2016.

  3. Trump is a classic demagogue in every sense of the word. His demagoguery is associated with dictators, and it appeals to the worst nature of people. Demagoguery isn't based on reason, issues, and doing the right thing; it's based on stirring up fear and hatred to control people. Scapegoating is one of the most fundamental demagogic techniques.  Blaming all of his troubles, bad behavior, or bad optics on other groups, usually the media, or people of different ethnicity, this is done by projection. It relies on condemning others for what you're doing. Projection is absolutely necessary for Trump's scapegoating to be effective. Since information from the press can undermine a demagogue's spell over his followers, modern demagogues like Trump will often attack and demonized the free press. They will usually claim that the media can't be trusted. They have even called out for violence against newspapers who opposed them, claiming that the press was secretly in the service of moneyed interests, or a deep state conspiracy against them , or claiming that leading newspapers were simply personally out to get him. No dictator can survive in a country that has a free press. This is dictatorship 101.
