You often hear that Trumpism is not the same as the Republican platform. After two years of Trump it is pretty obvious what the difference is. It is hate. The guy drips hatred at all of his MAGA events. He is a classic demagogue who gets a crowd of other haters riled up with chants about some group of people that he says they should all hate. In 2016 it was Hillary, people from south of the border, elitists (which is ironic because Trump is the very definition of elitism), and the media. Now it is the squad. And Silicon Valley. And the Fed when it won't lower interest rates. And many of our former allies.
The Republican party never had hate as an element of their platform; they never have gone out of their way for disadvantaged people but they never hated them like Trump does. I am not sure America has ever had a political climate in it that was so filled with pure hatred like this one. It is really sad that this is what America has come to be.

Trumpism, in my opinion, is a response to the Obergefell vs. Hodges decision, the White House being lit up rainbow, and the right-wing's apparent loss of the culture war. After same-sex marriage was legalized, many conservatives lost their minds and decided that "fighting fire with fire" was the best strategy. Out of that arose the Trump movement. And it's never been only about same-sex marriage or abortion. It's the very idea of "white Christian America" and preserving it against what they see to be an antagonistic left.

Both the republican party and democrat party have been hijacked by complete idiots.

It was definitely around civil unions and the like in states across the country. But it began this way looooong before same sex marriage was legalized nationwide.
