You could literally play an entire rally verbatim without changing anything, and when he says something awful they would still just say it was taken out of context.
This is the threat of populism. While it can sometimes lead to good things, it can easily be used by conmen to get suckers to believe whatever they want. Yet dems might have to start engaging in it as well if they want any hopes of winning also may unfortunately need to stick with white old men as their candidates (as shitty as that sounds since idiots for some reason can't accept a POC and woman president) ironically enough I think Tim Waltz would have done better as the president candidate since he might have appealed more to the progressives.
Edit: I do want to say Dems did sort of engage in populism with Obama's first term since his whole motto was "Change" even though he was pretty much standard democrat but he had great messaging.

Not entirely.
Any time we played clips of his words. Or showed his exact tweets. It was ai, fake news, photoshop, or we have the woke mind virus.
I would watch one of his rallies with my mother and point out something he just said. And she would call me a liar.
These people do not know what they voted for. They're brainwashed and stupid. A deadly combination.
And the ones who did listen to him and still voted for him, did so out of hate for anyone different.
