@theconversationau this article really misses what's going on in the population, falling into the same old trap of taking Trump literally if not seriously, as was the line from his last election.

But the focus on Biden and the economy here distracts from the bigger problems of general frustration with institutions that lead so many people to look for the punk rock solution that Trump represents to them, the irrational rebellion.

It's not a very big problem for the future of American democracy. That is missing what is going on. This IS American democracy representing its loss of faith in institutions.
