Democrats Could Learn Something From the Rise of the Whigs

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : But Trump likes to compare himself to Jackson, a fellow celebrity who led a revolt against the establishment of the time, and the comparison is more compelling now than it was when Trump won in 2016.
59% : This is due not only to the fact that Trump won the popular vote this time, but also to how he got there.
48% : But there are warning signs from the election, in which once-solid parts of the Democratic coalition shifted toward Trump.
47% : To compete in the South and Midwest, as well as in Pennsylvania and New York, they had to make room in their party for states' rights proponents and Anti-Masonic populists without alienating too much of their existing base of northeastern merchants and professionals.
45% : These factions generally supported infrastructure projects, pro-banking policies and government intervention to support economic recovery in downturns.
28% : Two of his salient policies were similar to Trump's: a purge of the civil service ("to the victor belongs the spoils") and mass deportations (of the Five Tribes).
20% : Such a pitch may have broad appeal if Trump spends his first two years back in office indulging his worst impulses.
13% : Like Trump in 2020, Jackson reacted poorly to defeat.
13% : The good news is that the victory margins for Trump and Congressional Republicans were relatively small, and Trump is ineligible to run again.
