Trump and Trumpism are really the inevitable consequence of all that went before, including Clintons and Obama - especially them. They have ceded ground at every turn to the right, acquiesced enthusiastically in all the wars on evil foreign brown people, to de-regulation etc. No matter how far right the Dems allow themselves to be pushed, they still cannot get enough of appeasement and compromise with this extreme rightwards drift. This is the most depressing aspect of what Biden is already doing. Instead of treating the GoP with the contempt which it deserves, and with which the GOP treats the Dems as a matter of routine, Biden is already cap-in-hand for their approval. Seriously, if anyone wants to tackle 'Trumpism', they had better start with the Democratic Party.
