Republican voters define themselves in terms of nationalism, nativism, skepticism of liberal internationalism, and resistance to cultural change. The GOP started using cultural issues 40 years ago as a crutch to win WCWs, and that crutch is now the party.
Donald Trump understands these voters more than the GOP establishment does. That's why he won the nomination. He didn't create anything. He didn't change the party at all. There's no such thing as "Trumpism." This is the beast that the conservative elite have bred, hatched, and fed, and there's nothing they can do about it.
For 16 months, 50 million Republicans have thought, "Finally, someone who says the things we wish we could say."
Reality hurts.
