Inside the military, Trump's contempt for leaders and troops has been notorious from the start. military.com/daily-news/202…
But the news has taken a long time to break through with the general public, where Trump has benefited from a lot of (unfounded but powerful) cultural prejudices in his favor.

It has taken time, but the truth is being seen at last.

People used to say "LOL nothing matters" to marvel that no Trump outrage drove his support much below 40%.

Election talk is not talk about "what the people want."

Election talk is talk about "what the governing authorities will permit the people to do."
