I don't get this.

Trump did a pretty good delegitimizing himself years ago, and continued to do so once elected by a minority. Trump himself had no desire to unite anyone, let alone people who voted against him. Also, given his consistent ass clown behavior and incompetence its a bit rich (to put it kindly) to blame Democrats for what happened to him. And let's not discuss the grifting eh?

If you want to blame someone for "America not coming together" , blame Newt Gingrich.

Trump was temperamentally unfit to be President, as was his predecessor and is his successor. You're listening to what he says and objecting to the tone. Me, too. I never voted for him. I've looked behind the off-putting tone and don't see what the press, Big Tech and the Democrats see, because they're hung up on tone over substance.

Trump was not significantly different from most of his predecessors. He had successes and failures. TDS was prompted by his most significant difference from all other Republican presidents. He fought back. His assigned role was to accept whatever insults and provocations were thrown at him, try to explain or apologize. Instead, he punched back. TDS is a form of rage in which one cannot think clearly.

It led to #THERESISTANCE in which entrenched bureaucrats and intelligence agencies combined with Big Tech and the mainstream press to form an alliance with Democrats to rid the country of the man who didn't know his proper place. Trump was rude and crude, making it easy to do. The Russia collaboration hoax played out long enough for Democrats to re-take the House of Representatives. Then came an impeachment handled in secret, that required changing many rules to bring to pass. The trial failed to remove him, so when a pandemic hit the Democrats and their allied forces were left to making sure everything was blamed on Trump, and refusing to cooperate in preventing catastrophe. After all, the worse things were for America, the better chance Naptime Joe had to become President.

His ego got in the way of dealing competently with the pandemic, and Democrats were happy to complicate things. As for grifting, he lost approximately half his fortune while in office, unlike his two Democrat predecessors who entered office as men of modest means and left wealthy.

I'd be interested in hearing the case against Gingrich. I assume you'll start your own Substack and present it.

I was with you until the last line about Gingrich. And not even because of the smugness. Dude, educate yourself. His memo has been online since the ‘90s.
