Seriously. I wish I could find any positive-constructive [0] results/values to frame Trumpism in terms of. I thought I understood why people voted for him in 2016. Based on actual results, I've been trying to steelman for ~6 years now. I haven't been able to come up with any positive values, the only things I'm ever able to come up with are destruction, spite, and hate.

There's really no reason to argue for them, Trump supporters should be perfectly capable of articulating some positive values they see Trump as actually having championed. But rather instead, I just see fewer and fewer flags. I guess the reality is finally setting in?

[0] eg "deport immigrants" isn't a positive result as it's framed around a negative (immigrants not being here). "Fix the economy for manual labor" or "Restore X/Y/Z cultural values" would be positive values. But of course Trump hasn't actually made either of those examples better.
