The constant bellyaching about Trump and MAGA is, in my humble opinion, one of the major reasons why he won another election. Referring to a political movement as a cult is something I still don’t quite understand. Remember, most people lie at the middle of the political divide. Their vote was what won Trump the election.

The Democratic Party have not found a representative who can pull those voters to the other side. You mentioned that Trump is not really a Christian (I don’t know if that’s true or not). In any event, he’s not a Republican either. He’s a lifelong Democrat who knew he’d have a better shot running on the Rep. bill.

My point being that he won because he influenced the majority of moderate voters. This is something crucial for the Dems to understand if they want to win power back. Sadly, though, they don’t seem to be getting it. They still run on identity politics - a divisive and fruitless ideology. It’s baffling that the Dems are holding onto this so stubbornly. It’s so obviously working.

If the Dems don’t start appealing to the political center with clear and sensible policies, they will not regain the majority.
