Something I was mulling earlier today...
Trumpism deals in carrots and sticks. He promises great things and warns of awful dooms. The voter is a customer.
The #Resistance mostly deals in guilt and piety -- they promise that *you* are good or bad. The voter is a sinner.

#Resistance's loathing for its *ingroup*. Which is pretty interesting!Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
