All these right-wing commentators coming out saying that "Trumpism" is here to stay. But what is Trumpism?
He has no economic policy other than a form of protectionism. He thinks Wall Street IS the economy.
His social policy is hate and division of everyone.
1/
His domestic policy is highly discriminatory & dangerous. Look at his responses to Portland, mass shootings, Covid.
His foreign policy is hate and insult every country, then meet their leader and kiss their a*ses.
His equality policies are non-existent.
2/
He claims to be anti big tech (so reduce tech & science funding).
He's both for and against nationwide healthcare plans, just because of the name.
He claims to be a Christian. LOL.
He hates immigrants, but he married 2, is the son of one, and all his children are 2nd gen.

So what the hell even IS Trumpism? It's nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's not even America First, it's Donald Trump first.
Until a Trump supporter can actually explain what he stands for on anything with evidence that it is what he wants, Trumpism is nothing but vacant idolism
4/
"Trumpism" literally means nothing. He tells people what they want to hear, then they make up the rest with QAnon etc.
Trumpism is nothing but a delusion. A dream for those believing it and a nightmare for everyone else both in the USA and abroad.
5/
Trumpism is vacuous. Empty. Trumpism is irrational emotion with zero substance and zero reason. It's anger without a guide, it's self-righteousness without principles, it's adoration and idolisation for Donald Trump.
It isn't a political philosophy. It's ethereal.
6/
So when any commentators say "the Trump vote still means something, people still want Trumpism", they can't say what that is. His policies mean nothing, because even Trump doesn't know what they are.
Therefore, after Biden takes over, Trumpism should be completely ignored.
7/
If Biden, Democrats etc had any sense, and if they get the Senate too, they should push head-on with a green industrial revolution, UBI trials ASAP, whatever they can to stop climate change, boost jobs and get rid of Covid.
8/
Pack the Supreme Court with Dems and centre/left leaning people. Why not? The people would have voted for a Dem trifecta. They want the Dems in charge & the Supreme Court shouldn't stand in the way of necessary progress. 12 people should not outnumber 73 million.
9/
Everything they want to do, do it in the next 2/3 years. Who knows when the next time they'll have a Dem president, senate and house? Make use of it from day 1 while you have. You know Republicans would do the same.
Trumpism is nothing & should be consigned to the trash.
