      1. When Joseph McCarthy went after the Army, that was a bridge too far & led to his downfall. Won't happen this timehttps://twitter.com/JDiamond1/status/759200443666923520 …

      2. McCarthy's attack on army undercut his claims to be a patriot. But Trump's fans stick with him despite attacks on military & soliders

      3.. Partially Trump can get away with denigrating soldiers like McCain & Allen because his supporters see him as defender of their values.

      4. Deeper issue here is profound alienation from American institutions, so when Trump attacks own party or 4-star general, his fans cheer.

          because so many aggrieved have not fully participated in American institutions, don't know tradition, history, or honor.

          No, they cheer because they are mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging cretins and personally relate to him. Tired of alienation trope.

          Yes. Trump fans have no notion of a commonwealth. They are too uneducated even to be patriots, which doesn't take much school.

          The result of 30 years of talk radio and 20 years of Fox News & Frank Luntz talking points for the politicians. Pure propaganda.

          Not just the alienation from institutions, but the replacement of them with the unquestioning faith in in The Leader.
