Why I think the Normies are Still Asleep

I just had a heated argument with my brother about illegal immigration. He believes they're all asylum seekers, not illegals. By the end of the conversation, he was defending Democrats and blaming Republicans, which confirmed something I’ve been thinking: Trump’s biggest mistake was treating politics like a business.

Trump essentially executed a "hostile takeover" of the Republican party, rebranding it into something new. But the issue is, many people still associate him with the old Republican establishment figures like Mitch McConnell.

My brother, for example, doesn't see MAGA as distinct from Bush-era Republicans simply because they share the same "R" label. To him, it's all the same. And that’s the real problem—many "normies" can’t differentiate between Trump and figures like Lindsey Graham, especially when Trump publicly aligns with them from time to time.

This is a branding issue. A lot of people don't see MAGA as different from George H.W. Bush. So, whenever Trump speaks, they immediately fall back into the "Democrat vs. Republican" tribal mentality.

The media has labored so hard to create this two-team tribal dynamic.

I thought Bush, Romney, Liz Cheyne, No Name and such railing against Trump would open people's eyes to the reality of the uniparty more than it did.

A lot of resources went into programming people to think this way.

I wonder if it is slightly harder for Democrat voters to open their eyes to the reality of the uniparty because in the fake, two team system, Democrats are portrayed very positively and given social status.
