OPINION
There Is No ‘Trumpism’ Without Trump

There has been a lot of talk about dangerous tropes in politics in recent months, especially from my fellow conservatives.
And while I empathize with some of their concerns, I must shine a light on the most dangerous trope in contemporary political discourse: Trumpism without Trump.
Many ostensibly right-wing political commentators are vocally pining for Trumpism without Trump. They want to retain most of the America First policy proposals he brought to the fore along with the momentum and enthusiasm he garnered with his unprecedented rise through the GOP, but they want to retire the former President and keep him on the sidelines where his controversial musings and magnetic persona will not dominate the public conversation.
When Sen. Mitch McConnell and others defunded candidates in battleground states who had winnable seats, they did so as a demoralization tactic meant to stop the rise of America First and bolster the Uniparty. The establishment-backed notion of Trumpism without Trump is a dangerously insidious fallacy because the America First movement relies on Trump’s bold and energizing personality; Trump is the sole figure to emerge as our nation’s champion, and his movement represents the last chance for Americans to avert total despair. America First cannot survive without him.
The personal, emotional relationship between Trump and his base cannot be understated. Without Trump as the candidate in 2024, at least a million of his supporters will stay home and refuse to vote Republican. They hate the system, know how they are being screwed, and rightly believe that most politicians in both major parties should be given the boot. They only trust one candidate: Trump. These voters are the forgotten men and women of this country; they put Trump in office in 2016, and losing them will assure losses in any election moving forward.
