Not handsome, not charming, not polished, just speaks the truth to power and has his heart and mind in the right place on the right issues. Hunger, affordability, healthcare. He has advocted for these issues for years.

Some of the people who voted for him might finally be getting a clue.

The immovable cult is 25%.
Another 5% are libertarian cranks that only care about low taxes.
We end up at the same floor of 30% though.

They're either in it for the Lulz or they're the "We're God's Chosen", and all the rest of you are going to hell" types who think their food comes from a supermarket and they can just drive to a store or go online and God will provide what they want.
America doesn't really exist.
They're living in the Now-Here, and they get really upset when the real world or other people intrude.
