Susan Glasser: “Electing Donald J. Trump once could be dismissed as a fluke, an aberration, a terrible mistake—a consequential one, to be sure, yet still fundamentally an error.”

“But America has now twice elected him as its President. It is a disastrous revelation about what the United States really is, as opposed to the country that so many hoped that it could be.”

“His victory was a worst-case scenario—that a convicted felon, a chronic liar who mismanaged a deadly once-in-a-century pandemic, who tried to overturn the last election and unleashed a violent mob on the nation’s Capitol, who calls America ‘a garbage can for the world,’ and who threatens retribution against his political enemies could win—and yet, in the early morning hours of Wednesday, it happened.”

No it is not his policy or his characteristics people are voting for. It is his charisma. The difference between charm and charisma is that if you are charismatic "you come to me". If you are charming "I go to you". Kamala is charming. Trump is charismatic and he can get people to do things as "they go to him" and vote. It is not the policies or character. It is the charisma that makes people vote for him. When he is gone, politicians like JD Vance or DeSantis will not be able to keep the band together.
