WaPo's Richard Cohen seems to be asking the right question, according to the headline, "Why people like Trump."
But very little of the column addresses that question. Nearly all of it is about all the things that seemingly should have already made everyone loathe Trump — he said "shithole countries," he probably committed adultery, he failed to show faith in our intelligence community— and the confounding persistence of support for Trump.A more accurate headline would be a question, "Why do people like Trump?," not what looks like a promise to answer that question. Elite media people like Cohen, should finally come around to asking the question humbly, admitting that they've failed even to admit that they've needed to ask it and that they've concentrated instead on telling people what they think. Look at all these reasons to loathe Trump. Come on, you idiots, you're embarrassing yourselves by not loathing him yet. It hasn't worked, and yet you continue to do it.
Cohen has exactly one sentence that tries to say why people like Trump, and it's incredibly weak:
My guess is that it’s a low-boil rage against a vague and threatening liberalism — urbane, educated, affluent, secular, diverse and sexually tolerant.Yes, yes, I know. You're so sure you and your friends are the good people. Your unshakeable love for in yourself and your friends is evident, as usual. By the way, if the Trumpsters are raging against the sexually tolerant, why are they they tolerating Trump's sexual behavior?
With the groundwork of that one lazy sentence, Cohen leaps to: "It is, in other words, some of the same sentiment that once fueled European fascism."
Some of the same... This column is some of the same bland but hysterical lameness I've been reading about Trump for years. And yet it's #1 on WaPo's "most read" list. To give WaPo readers some credit, maybe they, like me, saw the headline and believed that someone at the newspaper was finally going to get serious and go deep in trying to understand how people really think and feel in the America that lies beyond the Northeast.
