He's going to be very popular with MAGA and young conservatives. He's going to handily win over the rural and suburban voters that have been disillusioned by rising costs of living and politicians they believed failed them (and in all likelihood they'd be correct to assume that). He'll stoke the flames of fascism because blaming immigrants and welfare recipients is far easier than facing the real issues. He'll say whatever people want to hear and replace whoever disagrees with him because the opposition has their thumbs up their asses. He'll sell the country out for the quickest buck.
It's a very simple formula. Economic disparity + distrust in government + years and years of far-right dog whistling propaganda = far-right, anti-establishment populist rising to power.
He's extremely dangerous, as if not moreso than Trump. If Democrats and Republicans don't have a solid plan to counter him while continuing the current status quo of dicking around and enriching themselves as they swear their trying their best for us, seriously, for real, just give us a supermajority, he will only continue to skyrocket in popularity.
he has some really racist and fash ideas such as taking away the right to vote until youre old and/or served in the military.
but the Maga crowd will never vote for him, since he isnt, you know.
