John Kricfalusi, creator of Ren and Stimpy, saw tRump's base 25 years ago.

And embodied it in his character George Liquor, American.



Kricfalusi described George Liquor as "the greatest American" [2] who is so conservative "that he thinks the Republicans are Commies".[7] George harbors a deep antipathy for the political left; in one issue of Spümcø's Comic Book, George Liquor becomes enraged after a fish calls him a Democrat.[8] According to Kricfalusi's "George Liquor Story Bible," George is a middle-aged, crass, religious, ultra-patriotic American who favors his nephew, Jimmy The Idiot Boy,[2] and tries to teach Jimmy how to be "a Real Man".[9]
Liquor lives in the fictional city of Decentville, USA.[10]

George strongly believes in discipline and corporal punishment; his motto is "it's discipline that begets love".[8][11] In the two episodes of The Ren & Stimpy Show in which he starred, George treats Ren and Stimpy strictly and tries to make them as disciplined as possible.[11][12] In an issue of Comic Book, Liquor questions how parents can love their children without spanking them.[8]

But I don't think even Kricfalusi thought the character would come to life.
