But the reaction to him was so over-the-top and the demonization of his followers so complete, that the populist sentiments of the American people continue to be bottled up.
1/ Trump should have been a release valve for the anger and frustration of ordinary Americans. That's what populism has historically been in America, a release valve.
But the Derp State and the media worked overtime thwarting Trump and his mostly middle-of-the-road policies.
But the reaction to him was so over-the-top and the demonization of his followers so complete, that the populist sentiments of the American people continue to be bottled up.
The populist sentiment, which usually dissipates after a few years, is now stronger than ever.
My supposition, is that many people are simply not responding to polls, or are lying to the pollsters, who are seen as an extension of the corrupt media they've come to hate.
The populist core of America will come together politically, especially as the useless Biden and the repulsive Harris try to take revenge on the Deplorables
This is bad for them, because our side has mountains of untapped talent, in people who are normally apolitical.
And because the left allowed corps to aggressively police right wing speech, the newly triumphant populist right will clean house.
An aggressive, populist, civic nationalist right will make them howl like never before.
But, recognize that the Derp Start, the left and the media are playing with fire.
If they succeed in getting rid of the Orange Man, and then go too hard to prevent another populist from rising, they'll unleash a cleansing hurricane.

If you think "It's not censorship unless the government does it," I want to change your mind.

It's absolutely true that the First Amendment only prohibits government action to suppress speech based on its content, but the First Amendment is not the last word on censorship.

Have you seen the stories about how Trump administration officials and staffers for Ted Cruz are finding that no one in the private sector will hire them because they are forever tainted by their former bosses' disgraceful behavior?
