Any analysis of Trump victory that looks at the minutia of Biden/Harris campaign is barking up the wrong tree.

Any analysis of Trump victory that looks at the minutia of Biden/Harris campaign is barking up the wrong tree. We need to know why so many voters have their brain so broken to think Trump is electable. The Democrats will have to rebuild from scratch to fix this.

@zzypt war heroes. Modern democracy forgot people 'need' their war heroes, and that the person people adore and believe in isn't necessarily the one they agree with politically.
In 86 (iirc, don't remember the exact year), Israel performed an experiment; allowing to vote for parties and for a prime minister separately. It was a massive success. The range of the political compass included in the government was unprecedented. It was abolished the next election.
When the legalizing body - Israel's Knesset, America's congress/senate - is so diverse, leaders cannot afford to be populist, as their attempts of swaying the population will be seen as abuse of government power, and they'll motion of no confidence'd out of office.
And when the leader - President or Prime Minister - cannot sway the population in favour of their own ideology, the population'll stay diverse, and no ideology will have a base large enough for its extremists to not be shunned.
