I think we need to understand that this speech is exactly how republicans see themselves. Notice the focus on violent crime, something which is not actually rising, and inflation. These are the kinds of issues that Republicans have used to gather support. As far as they are concerned, Trump is the TV personality who has gone rogue and started yelling.
more appropriate to look at the Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson types that are actively on pseudo-news channels, screaming into the aether and telling viewers to get mad.
it doesn't matter what they're mad about, as long as they stay mad, and think that somebody needs to be hurt to make it all go back to normal. that's just how MAGA fascism works.
