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 >
-
2/ elections in Europe & US is that trying to stoke fear & making Trump-type center of attention is LOSER strategy

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

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.
-
And compensation for having a shitty life yourself. @C7606

Had a convo with some Vigo Cty IN folks this weekend too pro trump but pref path to citizenship (that pays taxes owed) over wall

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
