The good part: Those "cared-about" groups now realize, with clear majorities in polls, that the left hates them. So far they haven't managed to raise up convincing CANDIDATES, so the left can safely continue to bounce against the shared myth of Trump.

The existing alternate candidates (Bernie, Tulsi, Yang) are just as obviously fake as Trump. Each collapsed and converged to the Establishment after gathering a crowd of serious supporters. The result is permanently cynical supporters, not a sustained movement.

Solid, good summation. I would add that the election of Donald Trump proved to them that half of America are complete idiots and must be suppressed. They did not see it as an indictment of their misrule but rather evidence that we are stupid. This is the rift that could well lead to our undoing: The pitiless crowbar of events.
