I suggest the following "red" revisions to the process description:1: Trump comes out with a controversial action or policy.
2: Initial polls show opposition from Democrats and Independents, but show the GOP more divided.
3: The left wing media responds with wall to wall vehement coverage and the Democrats line up to criticize the administration.
4: The attitudes in the GOP suddenly shift to coalesce in support of Trump's position.
5: The critical voices of Trump's position within the GOP are ostracized by their peers.
6: The positions of the constituents of the GOP change in dramatic fashion away from the traditional GOP positions and align with Trump's positions.
People indoctrinated by decades of right wing messaging know that whatever the left wing media says is probably the opposite of reality, and with further messaging to back up that understanding.A clear pattern has emerged.

We have seen this play out with family values, fiscal policy on deficits and debt, free trade, and now immigration.
The immigration transformation is the most amazing because it is happening in real time and appears accelerated. A slim majority of Republicans support family separations at the border but the GOP constituents who oppose it are already shifting and changing their position rapidly in reaction to the media and liberal response. In effect, Trump wins right wing converts to unpopular policies simply by generating a massive left wing response. The notion appears to be if the left wing hates it, then Trump must be right. Trump is also vastly reshaping the GOP through this issue by issue convertion of constituent views and attitudes. He and his supporters can cast older positions as the fodder of the political caste swamp that needs to be rooted out from the party.
This rallying effect is unreal and lends itself to a tribalism not seen since the desegregation era. I think it is predictable that a similar effect will occur with the next leader of the left and the polarization will continue until both parties are fundamentally altered.

You really do not have a point to what I said. :shrug:
Seem people are still clueless why Trump is president and continues to be successful as president.
It's a treat to watch President Trump work the biased/trump hating media over and over.
Honestly, I think Trump supporters tend to be the most clueless about the forces that are shaping their opinions. Motivations matter and Trump supporters are subsisting off contempt.
Just as long as Trump keeps upsetting liberals, it doesn't matter how much damage he does. Upsetting liberals is the most important thing.

Fast forward to today: Trump wants illegal immigration lowered so he implements this new policy of separating families, knowing the left and the left media will go ape**** over it and wayla - illegal immigration of these people will decrease.
