Popularity isn't much of a factor when it comes to ones actual abilities to get anything done. You can say what you want but Trump got things done. We're still more or less a fifty country that's more or less dead locked which is a far cry from where FDR was, LBJ was and Obama was back in 08'.
Racism and white supremacy is the old values. Being in favor of the working man is the new. Science over fantasy is the new.
You are sort of correct but mostly wrong in saying popularity isn’t a factor. The dominant factor of the unraveling is that there was a bigger white supremacy vote than minority and worker vote. As a result, jobs went overseas, benefits cut, labor unions weakened, and the younger generations sunk into poverty as domestic spending was consistently cut. The red were centered on the Neo con, the racists, the elite, the religious. Culture war issues were put ahead of the working man and the minorities.
It doesn’t look like that is going to continue.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
