I’ve said it before (probably on the other place) but that Trump voter who, hurt by his tariffs last time, said “he’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting” inadvertently encapsulated the crux of the entire Trump era of populism

"it gets people all upset" --this is the thing that connects all sectors of the Trump supporting polity. Trump systematically causes turmoil, fear and anger among people that he and they view as the enemy. They view that as strength. As @adamserwer.bsky.social put it, the cruelty is the point.

Cartoon by Paul Noth: Sheep in a field. In the field stands an election billboard with a wolf in a suit with the caption “I am going to eat you”. The sheep are saying “He tells it like it is.”
