H/T Ann Coulter and her deplorable co-option of Jack Dorsey's website, Twitter.COM/AnnCoulter, see David Cole for Taki's Magazine on whether
there are any lessons to be learned and remaining opportunity to use
them post-Donald Trump:

| Ann's a friend, so I'll muster the temerity to paraphrase her: She
| basically told Trump, "Stay away from the crazy stuff. Embrace a
| real issue (immigration) that is central to this nation's very
| survival, an issue that resonates with ordinary Americans, from
| cattlemen to steelworkers to minimum wagers." And it worked. But
| after getting elected, Trump did damn near everything wrong--from
| straying from (or completely ignoring) his platform and promises, to
| surrounding himself with swampy neocon quislings, to mistaking
| tweets for legislation, to openly denouncing Ann when she tried
| (again) to bring him back to reality. And when white 2016 voters
| abandoned Trump in 2020 (a simple truth backed up by all available
| data) and he lost to a fossilized resident of a dementia ward's
| terminal wing, Trump reverted back to 2011: Activate the loons!
| Except this time, the loons listened, because Trump, by his
| "miraculous" victory in 2016 (not miraculous at all--he just
| appealed to white working-class voters with an issue they cared
| about), had now developed a cult-like following.

Did Bill Stepien warn Trump about the infection rate of Trump
Dissappointment Syndrome among legacy American proles and the risk
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris campaign would exploit it?
