You reap what you sow.  If you’re going to support political violence and/or contesting election results in the past, don’t be surprised when people learn from your example and build on it.  You’re all flaming bags of hypocrisy.

So what you’re saying is that you would support the leftists if they brought guns, pipe bombs and destroyed property, rather than just a handful of them screeching then being led away in cuffs?

He had to wait and see what the messaging from the right wing social media sphere was before commenting because he's not actually capable of forming a independent thought or tying his shoes.

It's the other way around, Trump is an effect of conservatism.  This spectacle has been building for decades.

So now you're blaming "conservatism" for this?  Lol. This isn't the result of Trump's rightwing populist policies. This is the result of Trump spreading mass lies to undermine an election result because his ego can't admit defeat, and the morons who believe his lies without evidence.  He's a giant dirtbag of the highest degree.

Of course they are. Do you honestly think the 70+ million who voted for Trump were OK with this?

Really?  So rightwing populism has to include mass lies to undermine an election?  You have to be a disgusting liar to support populism?  I support a bunch of Trump's populist policies (and a bunch of Bernie Sanders' leftwing populist policies), but I don't in any way support this or Trump's election lies.

Trump's particular brand of populism is not policy based or grounded in any material considerations at all. It's entirely grievance-based and it depends entirely on mass lies.

His true base isn't the working class: it's the petit bourgeoisie who are terrified of having their place in the world taken from them by "the others".

I would guess a minimum of 90% of Trump voters are absolutely fine with this, yes.

Trumpism is simply conservatism saying the quiet parts out loud.
As much as the information/media environment have allowed the perfect conditions for Trumpism to be cultivated those conditions are ultimately proving to be as unwieldy to the Republican machine as the Apprentice's use of the Sorcerer's Wand.

As for the loudest noise America's right needs to squelch out is their implication that Democrats are extreme radical socialists communists. What other possible path is available to them given the rhetoric they've used to stoke the belief that America has fallen to its very worst enemy?

Not even 50% of Democrats believe that.

Well at least you added the "particular brand of populism".  I agree that any policies based on mass lies are garbage.

What we don't need are people yelling "Trumpism!  Trumpism!" any time somebody wants to be tougher on China or questions free trade deals or questions immigration policy.  That will just end us up in the same place as we are now...a place where the only person with the political balls to talk about these kinds of issues is a narcissistic nutjob autocrat.
