The biggest current problem for this next generation is the failure to get beyond Trump’s populist success in selling anger and grievance to excite online donations and right-wing talk shows.

GOP primary voters told a CBS poll last month that their top priority in a presidential candidate is someone to “challenge woke ideas,” among Democrats. An unnamed candidate who makes “liberals angry,” was not far behind with 57 percent support.

    I’ve noticed pretty much the same thing. The GOP is looking more and more like the Democratic Party with each passing day, as if they weren’t essentially interchangeable as it is. It’s not out of the question that George Orwell’s 1984 isn’t too far off from what we actually do have.
