This guy sets up a strawman as to what a trump supporter is then knocks it down. Then trump keeps winning and their response is to set up an even more riduculous strawman. The more we win the angrier they get because in their model we are even more stupid than they originally thought. I am so loving this. Their shallow strawman arguments really suck when they are winning but watching them feast on their own ignorance and bigotry when they are losing is glorious. This is everything i have been hoping would happen for 30 years

Very well said.

"...For one, the dominance of liberal themes and personalities in popular culture has allowed the Republican base to continue thinking of itself as an embattled minority, even as they've captured most political offices in the country. They remain primed to fight the nebulous "establishment," even though the party they voted for controls the White House and both houses of Congress. GOP leaders and conservative media manipulate these voters by stoking a narrative of grievance and victimhood among them, even if, by any reasonable measure, their party is the establishment. This constant state of perceived injury and deprivation requires regular injections of panic and anger, which the conservative outlets who serve Trump are happy to provide..."

This one paragraph encapsulates why Leftists are out of touch with this country. Leftists have their own echo chambers, where they all pat each other on the back, talk about how reasoned, enlightened, and intelligent they are, and how evil the people that oppose them are (when they aren't just simply stupid). They don't even realize there is a world out there that isn't a component of their insulated bubble.

We're lucky. We DON'T have that trap to fall into.
