That’s all Trump really did. He latched on to the inherent racism of the tea party and religious right and just started saying the quiet part out loud.
Gamergate had literally nothing to do with it in any way shape or form.
He rode a popular wave of anti-establishment resentment.
Unless you think the Joe Rogan fanbase is comprised of religious fanatics, you’ve missed the same cultural undercurrent that the Democrats have missed.
You’re trying to insert cultural undercurrent that doesn’t exist. I know you have some sort of vendetta you’re working through, but try not to let it cloud your judgement.
Im not sure why you’re so intent on dismissing culture as a relevant context to the rise of MAGA. Most political scientists agree that Trump marked a notable shift and a deviation from political norms and assumptions from pre-2012 politics. Even insisting on the ‘religious right’ doesn’t explain Trump’s popular appeal at a point in time when religious participation in the US is at an all-time low. Seems to me like it might be you with a vendetta, since your explanation seems to boil down to ‘religious bigots are dumb’
Compromised by who? Who elected them? And why did they elect them?
Mostly the religious right because they are easily mislead.
“That would mean all it would take is for the right person to come along and flip a switch”
This is idiotic and the dems will never win again if this is their understanding.

I dont have any kind of vendetta, it’s an extremely well known analysis of current US affairs

lol. If you can’t do better than “no you” you might want to just stop.
