The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee provides an inside look at the unwavering support for Donald Trump, despite an assassination attempt on him. Delegates from all over the United States gather to nominate Trump as the party's presidential candidate, showcasing their unity behind the former president.
Dressed in MAGA merchandise, they represent the broader Trumpist culture and ideology. The convention is marked by a sense of euphoria and showcases various side events and activities.
Despite previous rivalries, Trump receives support even from former opponents like Nikki Haley, highlighting the unified front. The convention also emphasizes hardline stances on illegal immigration, crime, and the Fentanyl crisis.
Trump's migration policies take center stage in the Republican Party's platform. While the party deviates from an ultra-conservative stance on abortion, Trump's heroic image, with a raised fist and a partially bloodied face, suggests his resilience and determination to win the elections.
The survival and heroic image of Trump raise concerns about the implications for American democracy, drawing parallels to other politicians who have survived attacks, such as Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil.
