No.

It's not even the reason the right has become so wacko and extreme.

Trump is a symptom, not a cause. He's just a man of his times.

What is happening is that the infestation of populism continues to grow. More people on both sides are unreasonable and addicted to outlandish conspiracy theories and victimhood narratives.

more populism = less reason
more populism = more emotionally driven knee jerk responses
more populism = more belief in ridiculous conspiracy theories
more populism = more unreasonable discontent

Bumping this because have been working all day and left my thread. I really feel that Grump just inflames the left more. Been thinking about this all day.
