Recent polls suggest that we can’t afford to dismiss the continuing threat from Donald Trump and what he represents, regardless of how absurd it sometimes seems, JohnCassidy writes.
—a.k.a. the MyPillow Guy. After telling the crowd that he monitored the Brazilian election with his team, Lindell said, “They stole over ten million votes that we know of there.” He also insisted that American democracy was lost unless voting machines were replaced by paper ballots.
These weren’t even the loopiest speeches of the afternoon. That prize went to Gordon Chang, a conservative columnist and longtime überhawk on China. Addressing-19, Chang said that the Chinese government “deliberately spread it beyond its borders to America and to the world, and that means every coronavirus death in the United States is a murder.” Should we take such claims literally? Obviously not. That way, madness lies.
During Trump’s speech, which meandered on for about an hour and forty minutes, he name-checked Chang, along with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Mark Levin,firmament. He also consigned the pre-2016 G.O.P. to history, saying, “We had a Republican Party that was ruled by freaks, neocons, globalists, open-border zealots, and fools, but we are never going back to the party of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, and Jeb Bush.” He added: “People are tired ofs and globalists. They want to see America First.
The “people” Trump was referring to are Republican voters, the vast majority of whom weren’t present at, or at the rival meeting this weekend in Palm Beach held by the Club for Growth, a conservative organization that has distanced itself from Trump. What do these voters really want? It’s hard to say for sure, but a significant number of them still appear to support Trump despite the fact that his reëlection campaign has had a slow start.
The two most recent polls of potential G.O.P. primary voters, which were carried out by Emerson College and Fox News, put Trump’s support at fifty-five per cent and forty-three per cent, respectively, with, the Florida governor, who has not declared himself a Presidential candidate, running well behind him, at twenty-five per cent and twenty-eight per cent. Of course, it’s still early—the G.O.P.
