I am interpreting it correctly. Donald Trum is repeated choice of GOP and its voters. He won twice. They are choosing him, because they want exactly what he is, who he chooses to cooperate with, who he picks for supreme Court.
He is not some kind of outlier either. There is whole network of media, influencers, think tanks doing the same to various degree. The same kind of rhetoric was here for years.
This is explicit choice.
