Excellent point, and one that I think helps explain why so many people were drawn to a guy like Trump:

He not only entertained them......but his (fraudulent) perception of wealth allowed them to vicariously escape their feelings of economic alienation:

"Our political system presuppose a baseline level of adherence to the rule of law....essentially the system is built on a fragile, consumer confidence-like faith/belief in the people-conferred power of a constitutionally-based democratic system (even Nixon turned over tapes)." 1/

Trump's aggressive signaling that's he's running in 2024 may have both a "projection" and a criminal defense angle:

1. Trump already claims the 2020 election was stolen from him, and 70-80% of his supporters have already been conditioned to believe it.
1/
2. If/when indictments come, Trump will claim it's a "witch hunt" conspiracy by the Left to preemptively attempt to remove him from the field b/c Democrats are afraid of him, and can't beat him fairly...or even by cheating twice in row....2/
...and, similar to nearly every instance since 2015, any Republican who stands on principle/defends the rule of law will be characterized as a traitor to the cult/base who's *in on the game* to return the country back to a pre-Trump deep state run swamp. 3/

How did the Right come to hate this country so much?

Remember when (justifiably) criticizing the United States, even over minor flaws/errors, would cause the Right to seethe with contempt over your lack of Patriotism?

Yet now,….1/
...the Right claims the country is a cesspool run by corrupt, deep-state conmen who have exploited the system to get rich.....

....and that none of this country's institutions (FBI/Intelligence/democracy/etc.) can be trusted, and therefore must be torn down. 2/
We are currently seeing this in real time as Trump challenges the election in the courts. The danger being exposed during all of this is that the Right’s contempt isn’t limited to just the “liberal judges” whose professional integrity can’t be trusted because they’re liberal….3/

The danger that always existed with the Right Wing Media Echo Chamber was when the "supply and demand" model of disinformation shifted to "demand and supply" model. This is where we're at now: 1/

The more concentrated the power/wealth becomes, the more likely it becomes that the system that provided/created that wealth/power will eventually cannibalize itself. Thread on "Degradation of the system over time [can] potentially lead to collapse": 1/
