Not a difference that suggests Trump is focused on winning over voters. Instead, as in 2020, the resources are being directed towards setting up false claims of "stolen" election, likely meant to justify another coup attempt. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRn6SRXP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvZjlqYjI4czNmci8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXlrbTUwemZidmQmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZgRXnwZmYSoO4lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). ~/AASU4wA~/RgRn6SRXP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvNXc5dWtidWg0cS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXlrbTUwemZidmRXA3NwY0IKZgRXnwZmYSoO4lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRn6SRXP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvYWw5ZG9sZmlyei8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXlrbTUwemZidmRXA3NwY0IKZgRXnwZmYSoO4lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRn6SRXP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvMTN2aHlrdXBxdC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXlrbTUwemZidmRXA3NwY0IKZgRXnwZmYSoO4lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRn6SRXP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvMW1ibmx2ZGFsei8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXlrbTUwemZidmRXA3NwY0IKZgRXnwZmYSoO4lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo Trump’s megalomania is a trap for the GOP In the second part of a [two-part](~/AASU4wA~/RgRn6SRXP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvZm96aXdvaWZqdC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXlrbTUwemZidmQmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZgRXnwZmYSoO4lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) conversation, Jacob Heilbrunn — the editor of the National Interest and a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council — offers some historical context for how the Republican Party and the conservative movement in the Age of Trump decided to get in bed with Vladimir Putin and the global antidemocracy movement. Heilbrunn explains how Trump and the Republican Party’s support of Putin in his war of aggression against Ukraine reflects broader trends in how the American right has long-supported authoritarians and other enemies of democracy. In total, the Age of Trump is the culmination of deep antidemocratic fervor that has long animated the American right.
