I’ve covered Trump Nation for five years. It’s not going to vanish overnight

That insurrection has forced a swift reckoning for the President. Some once-loyal Republican legislators, cabinet secretaries and campaign donors abandoned him. Twitter and Facebook suspended his accounts. The House of Representatives made himBut after covering Mr. Trump’s America for five years across 19 states, I am convinced that the movement he built is not going away.

After the 2016 election, pundits frequently attributed Mr. Trump’s success to “economic anxiety” among those left behind by the modern economy in blue-collar places such as Scranton. But the leitmotif for most Trump voters I’ve spoken with has been a cultural one. Still Mr. Staber, 60, supported Mr. Trump because he liked the idea of a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, to stop caravans of Central American asylum seekers. “Go to Israel and line up a caravan of 7,000 people from Syria and see if they get across the border,” he said at his factory, in an industrial park near Columbus. “You can’t just let a caravan cross.”

Mr. Trump may have amped up the culture wars, but they long predate him. Since the 1980s, for instance, Republicans have traded heavily on their opposition to abortion. Figures from Rush Limbaugh to Bill O’Reilly to Steve Bannon have been building a separate media universe for three decades. This steady mixing of news with political ideology and unbridled rage primed Mr. Trump’s audience to accept the false narratives pushed by the President and his allies.
