Do the Dims have more than sheer outrage at Trump to offer? So far, after the last two years the answer seems to be no. In the end people will look at their wallet and decide if they are better off. Judging from how certain demographics are reacting it may be that many are coming to the conclusion that the Dims do not have anything to offer.
It is clear that we are in a fourth turning and it seems that the usual rules are breaking down which is to be expected in a Fourth Turning. It would not be surprising if Trump is recognized as a necessary disruption to the status quo in the future.
I would argue he is more than that. He is providing not only the necessary disruption to the previous status quo, but also providing the vision required to set up a new status quo. In short he is in fact the quote, unquote, long awaited Gray Champion. His main problem with thelibtardsliberal Boomers on this board is that he isn't the Gray Champion that they wanted.
An unfortunate consequence of more people living to elderhood seems to be that there more people around to whine about how their favorite pet project from the 2T isn't at the forefront of the 4T.
It is far too early to tell if Trump is the Grey Champion but he is definitely not playing the same game as the usual Beltway crowd. He is best understood by using Scott Adams Master Persuader Model. So far the press is calling the mid-terms for the Dims just like they did with with the Hildabeast in 2016. While it won't be known until after the election it would not surprise me if the MSM was gas-lighting the public again. I suggest that Pbrower check for oversampling of Dims in the polls since that is what they did in 2016.
