Trump and the Far Right are pushing an agenda that lacks an integral component found in the successful pseudo-populist/authoritarian movements of the last century. The successful ones—Mussolini’s Fascists, Juan Peron in Argentina, Hugo Chavez in Venezuela--all had a social welfare component to benefit his shirt-sleeve followers.

Thump and Ryan DON’T. In fact there agenda is focused on taking AWAY welfare-state benefits that their middle class and working class supporters rely on. Trump’s appeal will head south at the first recession. I think it is highly likely, perhaps as soon as next year, that a lot of Trumpkins will take their advanced-track “getting of wisdom” lessons because Trump and Ryan left a huge gap that Benito, Hugo, and Juan would have plugged.
