The consequences being: MAGA style politics is now socially acceptable and encouraged because it works and will for a decade or two.
Does it work, though? Has it ever worked?
He has won 2 elections but both times it has been more about the alternative being even worse, or perceived as such. Starmer won over here because he wasn’t the Tories. Almost no one was enthused about him, but people just wanted change.
In 2016 it was more of an “anyone but Hillary” vote. In 2020 he lost of course, no matter how hard he pretends he didn’t. This time the economy was the big issue. Which is actually doing quite well but people don’t feel that because of the cost of living stuff. Which is mostly caused by bigger events like the pandemic hangover and Ukraine. But it’s easy for Trump to say “things were a lot cheaper when I was in charge”. Which is true of course.
I think Trump is a bit of a one off, I don’t think anyone could imitate his style even if they wanted to.
