2) sitting through 10 years of Trump, I can certainly testify to the power of messaging devoid of logic or depth.
The past 10 years in the US are a reminder it can can take a decade or more for an electorate to begin to realize that types like Trump or Farage or incapable, unwilling, or both to deliver solutions.
Some certainly have good reason to question whether the realization has truly crystallized in the States. I think polling has captured that shift
