1. It’s not about economic anxiety

2. It’s not about social/racial/work issues

“ give the people “Trumpism without Trump.” Surely the voters who saw Trump as the answer to their grievances would jump at the opportunity to vote for such a leader, if only given the chance. 
This was the theory of the Ron DeSantis campaign. I say “was” rather than “is,” because even though he hasn’t announced yet, it sort of feels like it’s over. ”

3. Political science tries to figure out what people want or believe based on what they say. But in the realm of personal relationships, humans are pretty bad at explaining why they prefer some individuals over others.

4. At a gut level, people understand that part of the reason DeSantis won’t talk to the media is that he’s afraid of them, while pretending that he’s standing on some kind of principle. We all know that if DeSantis goes on CNN, he might be forced into a gaffe, or his voice might crack at the wrong time in response to a hostile question.

5. Some men worry about saying the wrong thing when talking to a woman, but the higher status male is the guy who can say whatever he wants. This is the difference between DeSantis and Trump.

[b]6. The Republican voter is not attracted to ideas, but has a sense of alienation from elites and mainstream institutions, and simply wants someone loud and obnoxious enough to fight with them. And since he mostly just wants to grill and politics is a secondary concern in his life, he is not tuning in unless the show is particularly entertaining.[/b]

No one has fully describe the WHY of trumps success like Hanania has.[/quote]

Conservative here. He’s very wrong. We are not attracted to ideas that destroy the country. We want someone to put a stop to the crap that the Obama administration started and the Biden administration is finishing. We are not interested in what the Democratic Party is selling. Stop lying. Stop cheating. Stop keeping the border wide open and lying that it isn’t. Stop being soft on crime, because if you want gun control, trust me, being soft on crime won’t get you any sort of compromise.[/quote]
