I think that’s exactly what conservatives were rejecting by electing Trump and developing a cult of personality. They couldn’t gain cultural acceptance by feigning respectability and nobless oblige, so they did a 180 and picked an insufferable douchebag Twitter troll who’s the living embodiment of a middle finger.
I think this is what’s different about Trump that’s made him more popular and personally connected to Republican voters than previous politicians - he fully represents and encourages their resentfulness, spite, and egotism more than anyone before him. Trump hasn’t created anything new, he’s just made people feel unashamed to embrace the worst parts of their identities. He’s a truth serum for assholes.
Yeah but before the GOP was lead by guys like McCain, the Bushes, Romney etc who at least projected the image of being nice guys...
