Trump is supported by the people running Silicon Valley (Musk, Thiel, Andreessen - with Tim Cook and Jeff Bezos financing his inaugural), hedge fun titans like Robert Mercer, heartland industrialist like the Uihleins. Plus white, Christian, married families who don't live in large coastal cities support him in the majority.

So I take this in the dialectic sense - that it is not destructive but self-destructive.

Also the opposition's obsession with Russia points to their loss. The average American doesn't give a damn what Putin thinks. Trump is focused on the US (or maybe Canada or Greenland) while the opposition is focused on Russia. Liberal Denocrats disliked Russia when Khrushchev was in charge too, they just have some anti-Russian animus that you can read about in the New York Times back to 1925 and before.
