Since Appomattox

Having grown up in Alabama and experienced the George Wallace phenomenon first hand, I can understand Trump with his cult followers. It's the same psychology today. They believe in Trump just like Wallace Confederate cultists believed in him. You can't persuade them otherwise; no point in trying. It is what it is. They can only be run over eventually just like Wallace while it's always only temporary. They will always come back eventually like they always have in American history. Trumpism was born the day Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox.
