I see Trumpism more as the natural end-point of movement conservatism as a whole. For example, there is no pathology in Trump that is not dominant in the Republican Party.

Casual malice, bigotry, aggressive stupidity, endemic corruption, seeking power only to rule, and total commitment to lying as the only form of political communication are all as distinctive for Republicans as they are defining for Trump.

I think it’s this ever increasing of executive power that has happened over the years since 9/11 along with Obama’s win I think was this huge shocker to conservative America. I mean I know a lot rank and file Republicans never really liked McCain that much but Obama beating him and then Obama winning again. Obama’s only the second Democrat ever to get 50% of the vote both times guys. He won and he won impressively. I think if anything defines Obama-Biden style liberalism, it’s an openness to people that have not been in our society. Obama is by far the most liberal president we’ve ever had on nonbelievers, religious minorities, LGBT people, etc. And I think that legacy continues with Joe.
