    No. From de facto day one of his presidency the Lincoln project has been operating. Trump started making enemies long before he was elected. He’s just very erratic and unpredictable. While you’re right that he holds a lot of popularity among his devout followers, he doesn’t hold the same sway over the rest of the party. Hence the “Never Trumpers” among republicans. It just so happens that after 9 years even the GOP is tired of his erratic unpredictable behavior and can see the sinking ship for what it is.

    HOWEVER

    back to og claim. At no point has this unpopularity among moderate republicans helped shape democratic policy. This is a common talking point seeded to create division. That’s why it’s important to ask for specifics about which policies shifted.

    Always ask for specifics when countering sophists that employ buzzwords such as @distantsounds
