“Xenophobic nationalism” 🤣 at least 12M people have illegal crossed the border in the last 3 years!

Nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy was always Trump's advantage and Harris's disadvantage. Nothing looks better than "the good old days" when what you are selling is something "not quite as good as the good old days." That is what the Harris campaign offered. It was a realistic and honest offer, but it was not as good as what the other guy was selling. Saying "inflation is going down" is not the same as saying, "Prices will go down." Trump did not even have to sell people on that promise (which is entirely unrealistic); he just had to ask people to "remember your grocery bill when I was president!" The voters took themselves exactly where the Trump campaign wanted them to go. That's how we got where we are today.
That is really well put. Inflation after the pandemic would have been as bad or worse under Trump but he was lucky in a way to get out of office before it happened, as he is lucky in so many things. His mishandling of Covid and of distribution of vaccines in fact made things worse and his halving of legal immigration led to worker shortages which in turn helped push up prices.
Trump unintentionally carried out the 2013 RNC autopsy. Working-class (Vance), women (Tulsi), and nonwhites (Vivek and several NFL players and rappers). Blaire White, Caitlyn Jenner, Dave Rubin, Guy Benson, Lady MAGA, and dancing to YMCA at every rally (LGBT). There also exists a very real Bernie-to-Trump pipeline (Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore, Matt Taibbi, Red Scare, and Glenn Greenwald). Unfortunately with Trump pushing out the Never Trumpers from his party, the Democrats will become more centrist and establishmentarian.

I don't understand people who say "we deserve what we get" as if we are one person. Women don't deserve to die of treatable causes. Immigrants who have lived in the US for more of their lives than they have in another country do not deserve to be deported. Reporters, journalists and judges with any integrity will not deserve to be harassed. If some dude who voted for trump starts complaining about the cost of his coffee? Sure, he deserved that. But that doesn't mean shit. The people who will suffer the hardest from this election are the people who will have deserved it the least.

They can’t get it. They think the heavy equipment shop full of mechanics and support staff that I work at are all racist, homophobic, and misogynistic. Which is funny because we are men, women, straight, gay, young, old, single, married, black, white, American, Guatemalan, Mexican and Estonian. Most of us voted for President Obama. Some of us even voted for Hillary. We all went for Trump 47 because he is the medicine this country needs right now.
Ross has great points here. The cause of Trump can't be understood if you ignore the issues that concern people, and glaze over them with superficial (even if sometimes factual) accusations. The surface looks rough, but if we want to address the roots, we have to dig deeper. There are real problems, and we can't sum them up with bland accusations.
Agree- the democrats consistently oversimplify how people think-- putting them into boxes...or they consistently get wrong what people really care about...
The roots are complicated, boring, and cannot be summed up in a tweet. America's circling the drain. Glad to live in Massachusetts today, but how much longer can we hold on, even here, if we're all still obsessed with soundbites?
Good grief the NYT response to the election has been awful. Lots of hot air with incredibly winding and unecessary pseudo intellectualiam. A lot of people who voted for Trump were regular people who due to inflation felt poorer than they were four years ago. Whether this is right or wrong is a debate but as usual NYT needs to go into the abyss of "are we entering an era of post-#### politics".
@@mikesocarras8827 maybe the dems will start having real primaries. Tricky to campaign against democracy when your candidate is picked in back rooms by donors…
Ignorance has been bliss. Now, it's time to reap what has been a long time being sown.

Unfortunately, now the better places in the world will be forced to live the Old South reality.
@mikesocarras8827 Yes, but does the world? Mass deportations, universal and reciprocal tariffs, a Russia-friendly settlement in Ukraine, an Israel friendly "resolution" in postwar Palestine, holding European allies over a barrel, knock on effects in worldwide elections...it's pretty short sighted to think that this only affects Americans. I say this as an American who's lived abroad for 16 years.
Being German I always had the greatest love for the USA and thought that Magas in 2016 would be a sad exception. Now I know that this is the constant dark side of America and distance myself a bit more from the US.
I don't blame you. My countrymen have just positively voted to have an authoritarian regime. Unreasonable men have triumphed and showed us how popular unreason now is in the US. This regime will no longer be a reliable friend of democratic states throughout the world.
Being Brazilian, I kinda feel the same. The US was never the shining city on a hill that it thought itself to be, but now I feel that that ideal is farther from reality than it was a couple decades ago.

I am Ivy League educated, but I'm far from rich, and I think some of the commentators in this podcast are not willing to hear a certain band of answers about why this happened that are right beyond their periphery. I am Liberal, but I listen to the right and the left, and I think those two extremes have more in common, and in agreement about what it wrong, than most liberals think, and it seems to be primarily rooted in economic disparity. Liberals and the middle class may need to take a hit for the team for a period so everyone in outer darkness can calm down enough to tolerate trans kids and diverse superstitions....
Reading Harper's Index for November, I was lead to believe that the DNC was fundamentally myopic when it comes to running a candidate. Joe Biden could not have performed any worse in any Machiavellian electorial system. The DNC ran a candidate that personified all the dismissive elements of our failing culture. IQ selection has completely disenfranchized 15% of the American demographic. They will vote against this every time.
i'm a lil Ivy league educated person tho i dn't think of it as little, bcuz G.U. Walsh S.F.S. I agree to some extent, but i'm not quite clear on what u mean overall and would love some expansion
@ I think the far left and the far right largely both consist of people who are poor and desperate and do not have much hope or faith in our government and economic systems to make things better. Many of the same people who ended up voting Trump, like Joe Rogan, said they really loved Bernie Sanders when he was running. What the two have in common are populist appeals and somewhat radical economic messaging. When you feel like you’re falling into a hole and stagnating economically and politically, and normal politics and economics seem to be to blame, the mere promise of radical change of any sort seems promising, like pulling the lever on the slot machine, versus hoping that what seems to be “more of the same” will provide a new outcome. In reality, I don’t think Kamala would have been more of the same, either, but she had to brand herself in those terms. And I think Trump will in fact turn out to be more of the same, despite branding himself otherwise.
That's it. Groceries and gas prices (due to covid and Russian invasion of Ukraine) frightened many people into thinking it was Biden's fault. Short-sighted, but that is it. And when we go into a real recession in a year or two people will know what's up for real..
Trump is a 90s-era democrat (and he was literally registered as such for years, only switched for elect-ability) so this gaslighting feels especially odd. Not sure we'll ever see an actual conservative again
@ArmHope That seems a little reductionist. I don't think anyone is disputing that the Democratic party failed in many ways. But, they definitely did not exist in a vacuum, get credit for what they were able to do, or create all the factors that brought them down.
@@bobbyc1120 you have the same logic of the democratic party, while they refused to have a primary a year ago because they are smarter than the electorate. You are the patronizing authoritarian who refused a primary.

Man, Michelle's absolute insistence on not wanting to understand the 71 million Americans who voted for Trump is so hard to listen to. It's far easier to call her political opponents hateful racists and bigots, than to actually listen to them. Ross simply encouraged the others to listen to the Theo Von and Joe Rogan interviews, and a level of audible anger rose up in Michelle. Trump voters are not the monsters that so many like Michelle make them out to be. There is great opportunity in this next season if the political left with simply acknowledge this.
Voting for a felon who tried to overturn a fair election result is morally questionable at minimum. Funny how even Mike Pence refused to endorse Trump because of that.
I naively thought that the fact that he's a Yankee and not a born-again Christian would turn off Americans in 'Middle America' but in hindsight, in his core, he's the most 'American' person I can think of.
“Born-again Christian” is exactly what he is. That label tends to fall extremely often on people who don’t seem to pay much attention to the red letters…
@@Justanotherconsumer Trump claimed to be a Christian just to garner the substantial evangelical vote. When asked about whether he prefers the OT or NT, he simply said 'both' and when asked about his favorite verse(s) he refused to engage. Hmm, not much insight there!
My gosh. Her edited 60 minutes interview is nearly all you need to know. This is a person running for the highest post in the land and 60 minutes couldn’t let her speak freely - they (or the campaign…and that’s worse) just couldn’t help misinforming the public. Just a disaster. How many “producers” and “handlers” and “directors” etc were involved 100x over in the past trying to mold her into someone she wasn’t? She should have insisted on autonomy. All the cooks spoiled the broth. It aint rocket science. Imagine all the “experts” in the background with their fingers in the mix, knowing what’s best, not just for the Dem Party and Biden and Kamala and 60 Minutes and CBS and all the advertisers. Just gross.

The guys on this podcast are getting it. Not 100%, but are getting there. This woman is clueless, and her reasoning is exactly why the Democratic Party lost.
the conversation between the dude making a point that Trump's main driver of support is not a anger channel like that woman said, and her reaction proved that progressive media see everything with a filter.
I voted for Harris and proudly so. However, immigration and driven the country to the right. We must slow down the flow of immigrants. We don’t have the resources. Too much too fast.
Incorrect. Immigrants provide billions in tax revenue. Deporting them and many others will COST even MORE, and that workforce and revenue will not be replaced... Or is that why minors are being allowed to work?
Are you aware that immigrants applying for asylum aren't allowed to work for the first six months they're in this country? That's six months of taking care of their needs, when they could be paying rent, buying groceries and paying taxes.
"Donald Trump was a threat to democracy" opened up the natural question of "Why didn't Joe Biden arrest him on day one?" Article 1 Section 9 Clause 2 of the US Constitution...
Bingo. Our institutions utterly failed all of us. The Senate should have convicted Trump for Jan. 6th, and when that failed, the Justice Department should have had Trump in the dock within a year. The mountains of slam-dunk evidence against him for Jan. 6th and attempted vote tampering in Georgia should have been before a jury even before the 2022 midterms, and certainly within a month after.
And yet it would seem that Trump made significant gains across a diverse group of voters. I’m very interested to learn more in the coming weeks as all of the data comes in.
Rural communities and states with strict abortion bans with doctor punishment will feel the effects of abortion when there are no OBGYN in their state. People were holding out hope for change, I think this election will cause doctors to leave faster.
@@wesleybaker9724 Time will tell. I see my other comment was reported. Cancel culture 🤷♀️ It is a FACT that doctors are leaving abortion restricted states and that fewer doctors are specializing in OBGYN, and that medical residencies in abortion restricted states are unable to receive all instruction on women’s reproductive care.
The nation's voice that was thought to be captured before the election was of those who had a voice. Post the election, the voice that came through was those who didn't have a voice or weren't asked/considered. The damning moment for me was the those voices of the undecided that said they can't afford to live and that their American Dream no longer exists. When that voice was left unanswered directly by the Democratic Party then the election was lost. Never underestimate the actions of a desperate person... there's a nation of desperate people who don't care where it comes from, they want change and to try something new as what there is now isn't working for them.
I don't hear anyone talking about tribalism in the fact that politics is life and death. I don't hear anyone talking about the fact that supporters of fascism are not making their own decisions and cannot think for themselves
So many people were ignored. Let’s not pretend otherwise. Fear wasn’t enough to get them to vote, but it really did a number on those that embraced it all.
16:16 I didn't want to think we were angry and nasty, but I can't deny it anymore. All I hear now is empty idealism in thinking people are not animals at heart.
I didn't vote for Trump and focused heavily on local elections. Emotional outbursts and not taking responsibility ensures further Democrat losses in the future.

Yet your comment calling Kamala Harris mentally ill is completely normal and above board. So much for 78 being too old for a president. Hate and cruelty won out, and y'all are gonna pay for it with tariffs, leading to higher prices, and higher taxes. Trump promised the rich a tax cut, he's not going to provide relief for anyone but himself. Watch. We've been there already.

By OTHER, you mean the Trans activists that were invading women's bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports? Or the gender identity politics that invaded public school libraries and indoctrinating 5 year olds? Or the 10M+ illegal immigration wave of 90% fraudulent asylum claims which enabled the invasion of over 400,000 career criminals some of which whom have taken over apartment complexes in Colorado and Texas even to this day? Or migrants lowering the wages for working class Americans and driving up housing prices by subsidizing them with taxpayer money? (hint: see recent revised jobs report) Only crazy progressive lunatics agree with these policies and the administration fully embraced these issues. Even liberals who fully accepted the trans movement couldn't get behind them discussing sex without their consent to 5 year olds and their daughters getting beaten by biological men demolishing them in sports due to their natural advantage. The working class jobs absolutely being eliminated by paying "asylum seekers" soul crushing wages while they also receive welfare. In every non-skilled labor jobs from factories to hotel house keeping to cleaning to food delivery to Uber, asylum seekers took jobs from Americans while they benefited from our tax dollars. My tax for NGOs. My tax for foreigners. My tax for foreign wars. My tax for rising housing prices. And you think it was Trump who ran on hating OTHERS that resonated with voters? Harris lost because her administration betrayed its own citizens. Voters are furious and wanted the guy who prioritized its own citizens.
Calling it Trumpism proves you still don't get it. My Voting Record is Obama x2, Bernie, Trump x3. You keep trying to make it about Trump and his personality when it's not about him. It's entirely about the economy and foreign policy. It's center-populism. My '28 vote will go to the whoever is the most anti-war, socially libertarian, but economically nationalist/populist candidate. The last three elections that has been Trump. If there isn't a libertarian populist in '28 then my vote will go to whoever is closest. If that's a left-leaning populist like RFK or a right-leaning populist like Tucker... social issues matter less to me. But if Republicans go back to nominating neocons or think that I'd ever vote for a McCain or Bush they don't understand me either.
I don't think Trumpism is necessarily a negative term. I think it sounds better than MAGA. I think it's just the name that people are using to describe the movement like with Karl Marx and Marxism. It doesn't have a positive or negative connotation, it's just a description.
@@Atomix_117 Seems to me to be a continuation of their incessant claim that his appeal is due to a "cult of personality", one that has nothing to do with policy. But that, as proven this election, is an inversion of the truth. Populist policies have brought in many non-traditional republican voters, including the likes of RFK jr. and others.
@@Atomix_117 "Trumpism" is clearly meant to be derogatory. I think the most accurate terms would be populists, center/center-right populists, America First populists, the America First coalition..., do you think this political philosophy started with Trump? It didn't. Do you think it will just go away when Trump leaves office? It won't. "Trumpism" is a term used intentionally for negative branding.
Boy, Michelle is angry! I mean she would make a great TV show, I guess but she was my least favorite part of this podcast. Ross trying to make sense of this dismal loss in a way that doesn’t tap into denial is commendable
Im curious if people believe that the next Republican candidate will have Trumps appeal. It seems to me most of his anointed candidates have historically lost. Trumps draw is trump himself. Without him at the helm do they get the same results? Will the anger and hate disappear, no, but will it coalesce like it does with Trump, I have my doubts.
The liberals on this are just emotional and angry and it’s unprofessional and unbecoming. The woman in particular is pretty hysterical. Ross makes important points but the screeching at him is grating.
What you have here are three relatively well-off people who are probably going to be widening their readership criticizing a man who is not hard to find fault with --to put it mildly. None of them appears to question the political duopoly that this country appears to be stuck with. None of them appears to imagine a time when the U.S. might cease to exist.

I see a lot of nastiness - but not total nastiness or only nastiness. The problem is that those who are trying to reach across the divide aren't as polarizing and interesting as those spewing hatred of the "enemy" (our fellow citizens) so our voices are NOT amplified, giving the misimpression that they don't exist. I really don't like the portrayal of Trump's vitriol and nastiness as powerful and masculine. What message are we sending to our youth by rewarding this with power. I understand that people want to divorce his policies from his rhetoric BUT I don't think that is the message that young people are getting. I think they are getting the message that polarization, demonization of those who disagree and calling fellow Americans "the enemy within" are signs of strength and paths to dominance, which is to be preferred over leadership and inclusiveness, which are signs of weakness. The young people who disagree with this are scared of those who agree or SEEM to agree because they don't place any limits on Trump or his supporters' rhetoric. If Trump faced ANY consequences for his rhetoric, he would tone it down (He is very political and not stupid), but he doesn't.

The surface looks rough, but if we want to address the roots, we have to dig deeper. There are real problems, and we can't sum them up with bland accusations.
Agree 100%. Democrats need to do a deep dive and figure out how Trump was able to out maneuver them with more simplistic and concise messaging.
@@victoriameyers-y1oespecially when the root cause of the economic problems was in 2020 during Trump’s term.
Agree- the democrats consistently oversimplify how people think-- putting them into boxes...or they consistently get wrong what people really care about...

Good grief the NYT response to the election has been awful. Lots of hot air with incredibly winding and unecessary pseudo intellectualiam. A lot of people who voted for Trump were regular people who due to inflation felt poorer than they were four years ago. Whether this is right or wrong is a debate but as usual NYT needs to go into the abyss of "are we entering an era of post-#### politics".
American's have confirmed that we are by and large short sited, intellectually uncurious, rude, hateful, and greedy. We deserve what we get.

I am Ivy League educated, but I'm far from rich, and I think some of the commentators in this podcast are not willing to hear a certain band of answers about why this happened that are right beyond their periphery. I am Liberal, but I listen to the right and the left, and I think those two extremes have more in common, and in agreement about what it wrong, than most liberals think, and it seems to be primarily rooted in economic disparity. Liberals and the middle class may need to take a hit for the team for a period so everyone in outer darkness can calm down enough to tolerate trans kids and diverse superstitions....
Reading Harper's Index for November, I was lead to believe that the DNC was fundamentally myopic when it comes to running a candidate. Joe Biden could not have performed any worse in any Machiavellian electorial system. The DNC ran a candidate that personified all the dismissive elements of our failing culture. IQ selection has completely disenfranchized 15% of the American demographic. They will vote against this every time.
i'm a lil Ivy league educated person tho i dn't think of it as little, bcuz G.U. Walsh S.F.S. I agree to some extent, but i'm not quite clear on what u mean overall and would love some expansion
@ I think the far left and the far right largely both consist of people who are poor and desperate and do not have much hope or faith in our government and economic systems to make things better. Many of the same people who ended up voting Trump, like Joe Rogan, said they really loved Bernie Sanders when he was running. What the two have in common are populist appeals and somewhat radical economic messaging. When you feel like you’re falling into a hole and stagnating economically and politically, and normal politics and economics seem to be to blame, the mere promise of radical change of any sort seems promising, like pulling the lever on the slot machine, versus hoping that what seems to be “more of the same” will provide a new outcome.
In reality, I don’t think Kamala would have been more of the same, either, but she had to brand herself in those terms. And I think Trump will in fact turn out to be more of the same, despite branding himself otherwise.
Is the female reporter supposed to have that tone against her male co-reporters or it just happened by mistake?
guys come on. it was just people complaining about inflation
That's it. Groceries and gas prices (due to covid and Russian invasion of Ukraine) frightened many people into thinking it was Biden's fault. Short-sighted, but that is it. And when we go into a real recession in a year or two people will know what's up for real..
Which was substantially lower in the US than most of the world and a direct consequence of the failure to manage 2020.

Pretty sad that they are talking about scapegoating and then refusing to admit that it was the Democratic Party that failed and no one else

Man, Michelle's absolute insistence on not wanting to understand the 71 million Americans who voted for Trump is so hard to listen to. It's far easier to call her political opponents hateful racists and bigots, than to actually listen to them. Ross simply encouraged the others to listen to the Theo Von and Joe Rogan interviews, and a level of audible anger rose up in Michelle.
Trump voters are not the monsters that so many like Michelle make them out to be. There is great opportunity in this next season if the political left with simply acknowledge this.
Ya she needs to consider the “anger” filter is in her brain
agree. and only by acknowledging that can the left in the US ever win again.
She's legitimately mentally ill
Voting for a felon who tried to overturn a fair election result is morally questionable at minimum. Funny how even Mike Pence refused to endorse Trump because of that.

My gosh. Her edited 60 minutes interview is nearly all you need to know. This is a person running for the highest post in the land and 60 minutes couldn’t let her speak freely - they (or the campaign…and that’s worse) just couldn’t help misinforming the public. Just a disaster. How many “producers” and “handlers” and “directors” etc were involved 100x over in the past trying to mold her into someone she wasn’t? She should have insisted on autonomy. All the cooks spoiled the broth. It aint rocket science. Imagine all the “experts” in the background with their fingers in the mix, knowing what’s best, not just for the Dem Party and Biden and Kamala and 60 Minutes and CBS and all the advertisers.

The guys on this podcast are getting it. Not 100%, but are getting there. This woman is clueless, and her reasoning is exactly why the Democratic Party lost.
the conversation between the dude making a point that Trump's main driver of support is not a anger channel like that woman said, and her reaction proved that progressive media see everything with a filter.
I voted for Harris and proudly so. However, immigration and driven the country to the right. We must slow down the flow of immigrants. We don’t have the resources. Too much too fast.
there arent that many immigrants. the ones there are prop up our economy and SS system. This was never a problem until trump made it one.
Curious that those who voted for trump has no problem with him keeping the immigration issue alive by directing the GOP to kill the Langford bill
Incorrect. Immigrants provide billions in tax revenue. Deporting them and many others will COST even MORE, and that workforce and revenue will not be replaced... Or is that why minors are being allowed to work?
Are you aware that immigrants applying for asylum aren't allowed to work for the first six months they're in this country? That's six months of taking care of their needs, when they could be paying rent, buying groceries and paying taxes.
"Donald Trump was a threat to democracy" opened up the natural question of "Why didn't Joe Biden arrest him on day one?" Article 1 Section 9 Clause 2 of the US Constitution...
Bingo. Our institutions utterly failed all of us. The Senate should have convicted Trump for Jan. 6th, and when that failed, the Justice Department should have had Trump in the dock within a year. The mountains of slam-dunk evidence against him for Jan. 6th and attempted vote tampering in Georgia should have been before a jury even before the 2022 midterms, and certainly within a month after.

The nation's voice that was thought to be captured before the election was of those who had a voice.
Post the election, the voice that came through was those who didn't have a voice or weren't asked/considered.
The damning moment for me was the those voices of the undecided that said they can't afford to live and that their American Dream no longer exists. When that voice was left unanswered directly by the Democratic Party then the election was lost.
Never underestimate the actions of a desperate person... there's a nation of desperate people who don't care where it comes from, they want change and to try something new as what there is now isn't working for them.

@@andrewpirr There is nothing wrong with healthy nationalism. However, Disaster Nationalism is when it becomes a massive problem.
Ok, Ross does make a good point
“Rally people around to hate on an other.” This.
By OTHER, you mean the Trans activists that were invading women's bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports?
Or the gender identity politics that invaded public school libraries and indoctrinating 5 year olds?
Or the 10M+ illegal immigration wave of 90% fraudulent asylum claims which enabled the invasion of over 400,000 career criminals some of which whom have taken over apartment complexes in Colorado and Texas even to this day?
Or migrants lowering the wages for working class Americans and driving up housing prices by subsidizing them with taxpayer money? (hint: see recent revised jobs report)
Only crazy progressive lunatics agree with these policies and the administration fully embraced these issues. Even liberals who fully accepted the trans movement couldn't get behind them discussing sex without their consent to 5 year olds and their daughters getting beaten by biological men demolishing them in sports due to their natural advantage. The working class jobs absolutely being eliminated by paying "asylum seekers" soul crushing wages while they also receive welfare. In every non-skilled labor jobs from factories to hotel house keeping to cleaning to food delivery to Uber, asylum seekers took jobs from Americans while they benefited from our tax dollars.
My tax for NGOs. My tax for foreigners. My tax for foreign wars. My tax for rising housing prices.
And you think it was Trump who ran on hating OTHERS that resonated with voters? Harris lost because her administration betrayed its own citizens. Voters are furious and wanted the guy who prioritized its own citizens.
Lmao at the comments here. Keep blaming the electorate. That will work! I’m sure of it!
Who else is to blame? The people chose what they wanted.

I am right leaning. I enjoy the ny times podcasts though. This particular one is out of touch though haha
Calling it Trumpism proves you still don't get it. My Voting Record is Obama x2, Bernie, Trump x3. You keep trying to make it about Trump and his personality when it's not about him. It's entirely about the economy and foreign policy. It's center-populism. My '28 vote will go to the whoever is the most anti-war, socially libertarian, but economically nationalist/populist candidate. The last three elections that has been Trump. If there isn't a libertarian populist in '28 then my vote will go to whoever is closest. If that's a left-leaning populist like RFK or a right-leaning populist like Tucker... social issues matter less to me. But if Republicans go back to nominating neocons or think that I'd ever vote for a McCain or Bush they don't understand me either.
I don't think Trumpism is necessarily a negative term. I think it sounds better than MAGA. I think it's just the name that people are using to describe the movement like with Karl Marx and Marxism. It doesn't have a positive or negative connotation, it's just a description.
@@Atomix_117 Seems to me to be a continuation of their incessant claim that his appeal is due to a "cult of personality", one that has nothing to do with policy. But that, as proven this election, is an inversion of the truth. Populist policies have brought in many non-traditional republican voters, including the likes of RFK jr. and others.
@@Atomix_117 "Trumpism" is clearly meant to be derogatory. I think the most accurate terms would be populists, center/center-right populists, America First populists, the America First coalition..., do you think this political philosophy started with Trump? It didn't. Do you think it will just go away when Trump leaves office? It won't. "Trumpism" is a term used intentionally for negative branding.
Boy, Michelle is angry! I mean she would make a great TV show, I guess but she was my least favorite part of this podcast. Ross trying to make sense of this dismal loss in a way that doesn’t tap into denial is commendable
Ross makes another good point about being tied to Biden
Im curious if people believe that the next Republican candidate will have Trumps appeal. It seems to me most of his anointed candidates have historically lost. Trumps draw is trump himself. Without him at the helm do they get the same results? Will the anger and hate disappear, no, but will it coalesce like it does with Trump, I have my doubts.

Why don’t you talk about this: how most Americans are fed up with Woke?
I see a lot of nastiness - but not total nastiness or only nastiness. The problem is that those who are trying to reach across the divide aren't as polarizing and interesting as those spewing hatred of the "enemy" (our fellow citizens) so our voices are NOT amplified, giving the misimpression that they don't exist.
I really don't like the portrayal of Trump's vitriol and nastiness as powerful and masculine. What message are we sending to our youth by rewarding this with power. I understand that people want to divorce his policies from his rhetoric BUT I don't think that is the message that young people are getting. I think they are getting the message that polarization, demonization of those who disagree and calling fellow Americans "the enemy within" are signs of strength and paths to dominance, which is to be preferred over leadership and inclusiveness, which are signs of weakness. The young people who disagree with this are scared of those who agree or SEEM to agree because they don't place any limits on Trump or his supporters' rhetoric. If Trump faced ANY consequences for his rhetoric, he would tone it down (He is very political and not stupid), but he doesn't.
