>>6141558>I'm too dense to follow so I'll accuse you of moving the goalpostsSettle in zoomer and I'll tell you a story. It was a magical time back when king nigger first ruled the lands. This made a lot of people very angry and was generally seen as a bad move. The populist tea party movement rose up and started primarying the shit out of any Republican who didn't hold the line against Obama. R's got the message, fell in line, and won overwhelmingly in the midterms because people were seriously pissed off.
That was the example I used when you said negative enthusiasm isn't a thing. Remember? Good. We're all caught up then.
Then you moved the goal posts and claimed that negative enthusiasm never elected a president. So I gave you an example of when it did. In 2016 when the same populist forces that drove the tea party coalesced around Trump in opposition to Hillary Clinton.
>>6141568Trump absolutely has a solid base of support, it's a literal cult of personality at this point. But on it's own it's not enough to win a presidential election. 2016 and 2020 BOTH proved that negative enthusiasm is a thing, but you're brain is too rotted from /pol/celdom to realize it, just like that other zoomer.
