Quote:The candidacy Bush ran in 2000 was in no way similar to trump. You are really ignoring history by saying that, and making yourself look dishonest. Bush was embracing Hispanics. Viva Bush!!! Remember that? Bush was not saying that we are losing and our leaders were destroying America. Bush was talking about being a compassionate conservative, is any of this ringing a bell? Whether it is it isn't, Bush's campaign was not inciting the imaginations of nationalistic, authoritarian gop voters. To think otherwise is flat out incorrect. Now after Bush got elected, he veered directly into the nationalistic and authoritarian style of government to maintain power, but that was after his candidacy. He did not run in that manner.


I know I'm not shedding any new light. That's my whole point. How trump is conducting his rallies and his candidacy is in a manner which has been studied within the social sciences for a long time. That part is not an opinion. That's just a straight up fact.


You may choose to disagree, or not like it, that's your choice. But one cannot deny that there is a clear undertone in what trump is doing that is being used to inspire a certain group of gop voters.
