Part 3/8:
Trump, Musk, and other emerging political figures such as RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, and JD Vance represent a “New Politics.” They challenge the traditional role of Republican leaders, highlighting a schism between the Republican voter base and the party leadership. Despite Trump delivering landslide victories for Republicans, many established party members seem inclined to resist his initiatives, revealing a clear tension within the party.
Their political power stems from an ability to galvanize vast support not just through voting blocks, but also by leveraging financial and technological capabilities. This new wave—described as technopopulism or cyber civilizationism—represents a significant evolution in how political movements can mobilize and challenge the status quo.
