It’s difficult to predict how “Trumpism” will evolve under a potential second Trump administration. The lack of coherence in “Trumpism,” as noted by Oren Cass, suggests that it may not be sustainable as a long-term political ideology. Additionally, the disruption and chaos caused by Trump’s policies and actions could have lasting negative effects on American society. It is uncertain how much social unrest, violence, and division may arise from attempts to control liberal institutions or seek retribution against perceived enemies. Ultimately, a new form of “Trumpism,” promoted by intellectual figures like Cass, may only gain political influence after Trump has left politics. However, the damage caused by four more years of Trump’s chaotic leadership could render the American political system too broken to be salvaged by any political program.
