Trump&#x27;s a mirror, and he stays in the news because we&#x27;re fascinated &#x2F; horrified by what we see in it. It&#x27;s not about Trump himself -- anyone daring to stoke the critical mass of mindless resentful hatred that he did would have done as well.<p>I try to comfort myself with the knowledge that these are only 40% of a party with which about 30% of the US identifies, so a win in November is unlikely, right? But it would take just one &quot;Reichstag fire&quot; event, like a terror attack in October, to make victory plausible.
