My problem here is, essentially, what is a Trumpist? Sure the party can become more outwardly racist, which would be very bad. But how can one be a “Trumpist?” There is no copying or repeating this—he’s one of a kind. And skilled in a way that allowed him to win a GOP primary.
Trump was incompetent at his brand of authoritarianism, and he lost. But this isn't a triumph: the Democrats lost almost everything else. Make no mistake, about what's coming: The next Trumpist, in 2024, will be talented, competent and not easy to beat. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Now is not the time for cynicism or hopelessness. There is and continues to be political possibility to preserve our democracy & move forward.
It will require each & every one of us, from the streets to the Senate, to grow in courage, strength, and strategy. But it is possible.

These tweets always confound me. Historical rememberance is largely about power, and if history is any guide, the same folks chanting "send her back" may be writing the textbooks of the future
