View submission: Trump and the Folklore of Capitalism
I agree completely. The analysis that the deep thinkers (e.g., David Brooks) have about Trump voters is comical. Ennui, dissolution of community, all kinds of stuff. It's just what you said though. He's a con man, knows what to say, and he has a galaxy of right-wing media to cover for his lies and misdeeds and weird behavior while media left, right, and center amplify his messages. Meanwhile, Biden and others on the left are actually doing things to help the lower and middle class and get zero credit for it.

He is a con man but why did he manage to absolutely crush all other republican candidates and take over the party?
