Political issues don't matter. Trump's GOP has basically adopted the same strategy as the Democrats - glorifying victimhood. The message from the Woke Democrats as well as the MAGAfied GOP is the same (although the details are polar opposites): You are a victim. The other team is out to get you, and the only way to save yourself and the country is to support our team, regardless of polices or principles or hypocrisy.
This is why Trump keeps harping on the "stolen election" BS. I'm convinced even he doesn't believe he won, but it doesn't matter. It's a talking point to fuel his base's sense of victimhood, as well as to stroke his ego of course.
Awesome summary. I really enjoyed it.
