View submission: Trumpism Isn’t Working
Ten of millions of voters simply do not follow political or economic/business news. Millions of voters can better explain the history of Area 51 than the history of the Federal Reserve. Trump succeeds by constantly being the center of attention. Trump gets himself on everyone's radar and becomes the thing people know.
The average voter doesn't watch cspan, read appropriation bills, or have any idea what the difference is between the FCC and FTC. The average voters world view is most influenced by the opinions of others. Not by facts and form processes. If the average person hears enough people say the CIA assassinated JFK they (average person) just assumes the CIA must have been involved. No need to read the Warren Report.
Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Logan Paul, Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Bill Maher, Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, Jon Stewart, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, Laura Loomer, etc drive the average person's understanding of politics. Not the candidates themselves. Trump never lays out a clear explanation of policy. Rather Trump creates headlines and media personalities joke & debate about Trump. Everyone compliments how funny Trump is and how well Trump knows his audience.
Of course Trumpism as a form of governance isn't working!!! Attempting to implement Trumpism as policy is akin to replacing the Constitution with the screen play for Star Wars. One is a structure of laws meant to frame govt and the other is a work of fiction designed to entertain. Trumpism stirs emotions but is an unusable guide. Trumpism isn't a map that leads to a destination. Trumpism is fan art of a made up location.
There's nothing here!
