Well I think they really only did two things : A) appeal to far right people with their roots waaaay out in the boondocks mostly northward rather than southwestward using stuff like dog whistles, and B) use doublespeak to simultaneously appeal to, draw in, and superficially radicalize the more centre right types just enough to get their vote over the top, to have a substantial base, and to be able to call it ‘a mandate’. I mean they really went out into the deep country for campaigning.
You forgot the most important step: lie your ass off constantly faster than the truth can catch up to you
The “mandate”, for instance, is horseshit. There is no mandate. Trump won by one of the smallest margins in American history and immediate turned around to cry, “The people love me! They voted for me overwhelmingly! Best most fairest election of all time!”
Fuck maga and the racist bigots dominating American policy.
Thank you American voters.
