“The talk-radio godfather of Trumpamania: What Michael Savage can tell us about America’s white working class” was published by journalist Robert Hennelly on Wednesday. The piece explains why Savage’s message resonates with millions of viewers, the “insurgency” behind him, and the reasons why elites in the nation’s capital ignore them at their peril.

“Long before [Donald] Trump’s arrival on the scene, it was conservative radio talk show host Michael Savage, the idealogical [sic] godfather of ‘Trumpism,’ who galvanized this insurgency,” Hennelly wrote. “Savage gave it a voice and a powerful narrative, one that proved extremely helpful to those, like iconoclastic Senator Ted Cruz, who rose to prominence taking on the very same GOP beltway insiders that Donald Trump is now making so nervous.”
The journalist added, “Years before Trump, Savage had already redefined the nature of the American political landscape when he blew up the Republican Party establishment’s hold on its working class base. Trump can come or go, but this insurgency has a depth and breadth that can’t be ignored.”
Hennelly told Salon readers it would be unwise to ignore a man whose message on border control, the degradation of American culture, and host of other issues inspires millions. He then cited Savage’s vehement opposition to the Dubai Ports World between the U.S. and UAE in 2006 as an instance where he acted “like a 21st century Paul Revere” against a globalist attack.
“By the time Savage was done hammering the Bush administration over ‘Portgate,’ the White House’s only refuge was to say President Bush was only aware of the deal after it was approved. The deal had produced something that was by then already exceedingly rare in Washington, an overnight bipartisan outrage. Congress stampeded to stop the deal,” Hennelly wrote.

“In the end, Savage prevailed and Dubai Ports World went packing. For the swelling ranks of the Savage Nation, that was the beginning of the end for the Bush brand of mercantile Republicanism. Savage, elected by nobody, had moved the nation and stopped a deal that all the smart money was convinced would sail through. He had undermined a sitting Republican president with a big chunk of the base that had elected him.”

The piece wraps up by noting how, like presidential front-runner Trump, attacking Savage for his views on Islam and border security repeatedly backfires on his opponents.
“The more over the top his rhetoric has become, the more popular he has become as well.”
