So Trump actively supported Strange, and Moore won.
This proves:
1. Trump is NOT a dictator. Trump supporters have a mind of their own. Trump's supporters will NOT do anything he says. All the liberals who said that were wrong, again. All the fear mongering is crap.
2. Trump's support is based on ideas, not Trump. It is a loosely defined ideological political movement that has no loyalty to any one man, and that's a good thing.
3. Even if liberals manage to take out Trump, the people who put him there will remain, and they will continue to fight against the swamp.
1.) The fact that Bama republicans crammed themselves into a reTardis and traveled back in time to 1965 to elect a proud theocrat and bigot does not negate Trump's authoritarian tendencies in any way. His supporters WILL do anything he says, just as long as what he says is anti-liberal in nature. Luther Strange is to the left of Roy Moore (who would fall off the edge of the planet if he went any further right), so Trump's support for Strange failed this key test.
2.) Yes, it's the big ideas Moore brought to the table that made him stand out. Such as "being gay should be illegal", "muslims should be barred from holding office", and "there should be no separation between the state and my particular brand of extremist, pseudo-Christianity".
3.) Obviously. This is a point liberals have been making since Trump first came on to the scene. It never ceases to amaze me that the people complaining about "the swamp" also believe that corporations are people, money is speech, and ethics laws are big government red tape.
