I understand your position but I think you’re wrong. Fascists always, without exception, need a “charismatic” leader like the Nazis with Hitler or the Russians with Putin.
There’s currently only Trump who can fill that role.
It’s of course possible that another such person appears out of nowhere, but I don’t see anyone on their side.
Trump was a TV star and tacky racist celeb (birthed) since the 80s. His brand isn’t new, he build it over a long time.
Who do you think would fill his shoes if yesterday’s attempt had succeeded? There’s no one.
Raegan was a similar character previously. I don’t doubt they will arise again. Certainly, there are many Republicans with the same reactionary politics.
You’re arguing whether the GM theory is right or wrong, I’m saying to Trump supporters, it doesn’t matter, he’s their “Great Man”, they’ve fallen for the idea that a Great Man will fix all their problems. Because they are stupid and believe in false ideals.
That’s why I’m getting the impression you’re trying to show off how much you know instead of engaging with the actual topic. Do you need a pat on the back?
That’s a bit drama-queenish.
We had a good thing before Trump ran for president and won.
Once he’s gone things will go back to normal over time.
Trump is just the logical conclusion of the christo fascist takeover of the Republicans. It will be there when he’s gone

Yet who is a better fit for that theory than Trump, from the perspective of his fans, at least?
