This all the freaking way! We are looking for people who will fight for us in all three branches of government. The Dems have produced very few fighters, and even fewer fighters who realize the enemy is the obscene wealth and corporate consolidation.

At a time when most Americans don’t believe politicians are looking out for them, people are searching for someone who seems like they’ll actually fight on their behalf.

Whether you like Trump or not, that’s what he represents to a lot of voters. Yes, he’s betrayed that trust—and that’s why his approval is sinking like a rock—but the appeal was never about identity alone. It was about perceived authenticity.
