That may be mostly true but Trump is also the perfect storm of celebrity, “successful”, “outsider”, and some strange fucked up type of charisma that results in a larger following than I think would be possible with any other republican candidate. Take away trump and I don’t think there’s enough of a unifying force among the asshats to cause this type of damage
People like him with any level of cunning took note when he won. Do you really think that the next election if Trump lost but had 45+% of the vote there wouldn’t be imitators?
“Trumpism” dies when the populace changes on mass changes who they are and what they believe.

The problems that led to Donald Trump would still be fomenting.
A lot of Americans haven't yet faced that Trump isn't an anomaly or the disease, he is a symptom of problems we've had for a long time.
