Not to split hairs, but the 2024 election is not an opportunity to end Trumpism for good, if by the term you mean the hate and ignorance of the many tens of millions of MAGA Americans.
I have every confidence that major right-wing political issues and the politicians who support them will lose at the polls, but all this stupidity will not simply vanish into then air; it will go into dormancy, only to arise at some later time.
Dormancy is actually a best-case scenario, because here’s a related question: What level of violence can we expect if Trump is convicted and incarcerated on one for more of 91 felonies with which he’s charged?
It’s easy to blame Trump for his lies and criminality.
It’s harder to accept the fact that many of the people of the United States are willing believe essentially anything, regardless of how preposterous, that comes out of the president’s mouth.
The Republicans seem to have coalesced around the anti-communism/socialism narrative, setting aside all other messaging re: the economy, affordable groceries and gasoline, jobs, allowing Iran to build a nuclear weapon, etc.
We’ll have to wait and see how this plays out.
In a nation that has, to a large degree, lost its ability to think, it’s possible that voters, especially the most unintelligent among them, can be convinced that the Democrats are leading the United States in the direction of China, North Korea, or the former Soviet Union.
I encourage readers to check out this tongue-in-cheek ad for plant-based meat.
There is a maxim in marketing warning against “promoting the enemy line,” this is so clever, I can see where it could be quite effective.
