An example of how Trump is a vehicle for grievances because everyone driven by resentment projects onto him. A leftist like AOC feels America is beautiful and wants to improve it. A crank leftist likes the idea of destroying America, but is totally powerless, therefore they approve of Trump doing it

It’s a great YIMBY example, like you build a bunch of giant luxury apartments close to downtown, the McKinsey and Kirkland associates live there instead of “gentrifying” or whatever, and it eventually turns into an actual neighborhood
