Both things feel very true. 

Trump is a symptom, and feels like we have been on the path to him for a few decades at least. 

But Trump also somehow seems more marketable than most of his ilk. Somehow he gets an enormous benefit of the doubt, that I doubt even JD Vance would get. 

Years of grooming Middle America through shitty "reality" TV and conspiracy theories.

But Trump was also the George Wallace presidency the South wanted in 1968, in the wake of their anger over the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
