“It’s basically building a coalition of the left and the right—a populist coalition,” Kennedy said. There were dangers in that, he conceded. “Populism is easy to hijack.

No. The danger of Trump was, and still is, that he is a warrior against the deep state. Like an FBI that thumbs its nose at Congress. Like an IRS that intimidates Taibbi. Like district attorneys who let criminals go. Like Homeland Security that lets in millions of illegals and the menace some can become. We have reason to be angry. I want a president who gets that. Not one who foments it.
He is only a 'warrior' against the deep state because they are against him. Trump is not the kind of person who fights for others. He fights for himself and is willing to bring his supporters along with him.
He is not a leader. He is a bully who happens to be doing what we want...for now.
Yeah, we need to call out the Tump is a racist/xenophobe/etc lie every time. Trump is hated because he stands in opposition to the Deep State...but that cannot be acknowledged, so racism, blah blah.

Like a DOJ that allows threatening Supreme Court Justices in their homes. Like a Democrat Party that encourages rioting during a pandemic.
Mostly peaceful riots, declared "freedom zones," and no masks is scientifically proven to fill liberals' big bags of smug.
Plus the quoted comment is nothing more than my-populism-is-better-than-your-populism.
Like attorney generals who target political opponents….
