Nathaniel shared a tweet earlier about the rare nature of the losses that the GOP has suffered while Trump was on the ballot, comparing Trump’s failures to Hoover’s. That comparison aside, it has reminded me of a nagging thought I’ve had throughout the Trump presidency: Will historians forget how much of the country believed in Trump’s vision just because a majority (very slim in some races!) voted him and other GOP politicians out? We don’t hear much about what happened to Hoover’s base these days, for example. Or even Nixon’s.
