    He seems like an outlier in a few major ways. One is his temperament. He’s crass and made of bluster. One is the Republican party, which is essentially fascist in the 21st century. That gives them a self-destructive character that can be taken advantage of by the Dems, if they ever decide to grow a spine. The 3rd is all the cameras on Trump, which tend to send liberals to social media so they can lament the awful things he does without having to take political action or hold the Dems accountable for doing a lot of the same things, but with less haste and news coverage.

    After that, the differences kinda dry up.
