    While most in Vigo Cty IN still love Trump, they expressed dismay over: 1) attack on judges, 2) pitching Ivanka 1/n

        Those are fairly predictable: opposition to corruption, investment in American exceptionalism, some fair play.

        Those are things abt Trump that opposition should be emphasizing, IMO. Plus fact that Trump makes us less safe.

        1./ Italian leftists learned that opposition to Berlusconi worked best when focused on corruption. General lesson from recent >

        Trumpism will fail analogously to the Soviet empire. It will appear strong to the outside while it hollows out - until poof

        Yeah, I think better understanding is that Trumpism entered vacuum created by collapse of US ideology (neoliberalism?) @C7606

        Until we realize that ideology has collapsed -- and start to do something about -- TrumPutinism will continue to thrive @C7606

        Possibly, but ideology is a wrapper we give to economic progress. Need progress or plausibility of same for an ideology

        I think losing ideology of American exceptionalism goes far beyond econ. It's also fluffed up white supremacy wrt world @C7606

        Well put. Exceptionalism was a source of admiration / aspiration / stability / hope. Now on life support.

        See, I think Trump really screwed up by going after immigration first. Americans not as extreme as GOP politics would suggest

        that's what I gathered. Also they didn't oppose ban, but knew trump could revise EO if safety was real concern. Will be watching

        @LOLGOP I never understood why the Right objects to it being called a "Muslim ban." That's what they really want, isn't it?
