Yes.
Populism and Conservativism ultimately don't see eye to eye.

Trump was an anomaly. I remember when he first announce that he was running for President, everyone was mocking him. Everybody hated him----and at the same time -------Everybody liked him.
Back in 1980, in an interview, he was asked;
"Do you have the Genes to be a successful politician?"
Trump Replied; "I'm pretty Outspoken, and that's probably not a good thing in terms of being a Politician. But it's a Good thing if you ever get elected, that you can do A REALLY GOOD JOB"
(see video starting at 3:29)
Now looking back 40 years --- Trump hit it on the nail. He accomplished more FOR THE PEOPLE than any other President ever.
The thing that Trump did and every politician hated was that he exposed the leaders of the Country, both Democrats and Republicans, that they are not for or concern for the average citizen. It actually revealed that the Politics in America is no different than the Serfs and Lords of the middle ages.
The Political party in Power, either Democrats or Republicans use their position to dip into the treasury in a form that can't be traced legally and they enrich themselves and their families for centuries to come. It may come in a form of giving billions to other countries and receiving a kickback in the form of speaking engagements or charity giving back to those in power.
Just look at all the Presidents who have become rich AFTER THEIR PRESIDENCY because of speaking engagements, books written, kickbacks, etc.
Trump exposed them, and worked for the betterment of the average citizen, and for this reason they got rid of him. The reason Trump could do this is because he already was a billionaire and couldn't be bribed with monies. Whereas other politicians want to be rich and use the office to do so.
I don't think there will be another like him. For everything to be fixed, they need to change the entire structure of the way the political system works, starting with only allowing ONE YEAR TERM for all officials in Congress, Senate, Judicial, and Presidency. And those put in office should be based on qualifications of the person running for office and based on qualifications of VOTERS.
Any person that votes should be qualified and not an uninformed voter like today's voters. They should be educated on how the political system works. And that would mean no political party but instead each person should be put in office to do a job for one year and then out he/she goes.
This will prevent unqualified, unscrupulous people from manipulating the system and keeping unlimited power while in office..
But this will never happen because humans aren't there yet. And I not sure they will ever get there.

Frankly, I think we could use a new 3rd Party. The Dems and the GOP are really one and the same. They have both abandoned the middle class, middle American. But I don't mean some fringe group like the Green Party, etc that really doesn't matter in any election.
Trump could have enough influence to start such a thing. He has the grassroots connections to get things rolling. But as mentioned the man is 74 years old. I wouldn't want to be tackling this kind of thing and I'm younger than he is.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Donald Jr. take a stab at it. He’s a lot like his father and for a billionaire’s son, he can relate very easily to a “regular “ person.

Can you blame him? His own party has turned their backs on him. He needs to get 4 more years and destroy both parties.

The elites are going to make sure that there is never another Trump.
They are going to make sure that he goes to Prison on all the made up crimes that they are actually guilty of.
If he does not see this coming, then he is an idiot.
His only hope is if when Pence unseals the envelopes and says that the States that were in question are marked for Trump. LOL. Not going to happen as Pence is/was part of the elites at one time. Albight a small player.
There is also the Insurrection Act, but that is playing for keeps. You lose - you are dead. Maybe this has all been a charade to find out who your real supporters are. Time to cross the Rubicon.

Georgia will be considered by many as a referendum on Trump pro or con.
