But Kamala is not really on the left, it is essentially a liberal.

When I speak on the left, I speak of a real Marxist paradigm, or at least anti-capitalist in general; Not only play the card of wokism.

The Fighting Oligarchy Tour stuff has had 202,200 attendees though. I don't know how much many of them are repeat attendees.

And then if trump dies or if he gets kicked out for trying to stay in power the Republicans will lose all momentum, because the power comes from trump as a person rather than any actual ideology and nobody else has his donald trump spark. There won't be a good replacement or a bigger badder trump coming along anytime soon.

It's very good but i still wait to see what this will get as political outlet.

Bernie Sanders barely got more than half of Joe Biden's vote in the 2020 Democratic primaries; and that's still soft socialism.

Idk, a less clivant republican will both takes trumpist votes and those of people who could have voted republican but have been disgusted by trump figure.

It isn’t legally possible. I’m pretty sure he’s going to get crushed at the mid terms and decline further after so I doubt he’ll have the political capital to pull it off or the energy given his age. It’s probably trolling to distract the media from the tariffs and failure to stop the Ukraine war.

Trump is gonna try and change the law imo ahahaha

Trump started publicly laying the psychological groundwork for a 2028 run. He set up the Michigan rally crowd to chant "3, 3, 3". Then invites guest speaker to podium whose first and only words are "Trump 2028 anybody?"

The chanting and messaging were designed to appear organic and to activate mimetic desire (people want what they see others wanting) and utilize emotional osmosis (uncertain supporters absorb the tone and boldness of those around them).

These are just a couple of the key mechanisms operating on top of existing psychological pathologies that give Trumpism it's power and resiliency.  They serve to normalize, reinforce, and amplify what would otherwise be rejected by society.

These are just mechanisms, not the pillars. I think I finally cracked Trumpism. It's a complex model, so not sure when I'll have the time to refine and polish it, but I'll do a post when I can. Interesting stuff that provides far more explanatory power and depth of insight than anything I've come across.

Thats actually very insightful, thanks for sharing. I didnt see all the possible mechanisms at play.

Imagine someone shot with the gun in the air at that exact moment. Not at trump, just as a loud shocker. That would burn the slender tentacles who test the waters and dont yet have a strong grip on reality and what they can get away with. It would set the reaction tone from the very beginning. It would be in the news and would make many people aware of the hidden process going on very early.
