I don't know why you think this is the secret that ends his career. Dems fail the purity tests of the type of people that actually care about that and voted Trump by not showing up. Or in even worse cases, went full horseshoe theory and actually voted Trump.

Sort of. Miller has been involved in developing and test running the concept on years, see Hungary (field test of the fearmongering populism + the "Mike Johnson" special - we had "don't know, wasn't there, didn't hear about it, ask someone else" press conference memes like 12 years ago) and other examples. Definitely involved to some degree with Fico and Putin, and to a lesser extent, Babis, Meloni and Simion. They weren't sure they could get away with it last time Trump was up there, although if my memory serves, national guard was deployed due to maybe BLM?
I mean really, it's shocking how fast it ramped up but I cannot say that I'm truly surprised it did happen, and if I look back at the people involved in it, it seems more like a gentle increase of the knob than a sudden twist. It's also just that the higher you are on the dial, the closer together are the red lines.
