I have a theory about this. The left has time and time again tried to create a parallel to conservative talk radio, but it never succeeds. Why?
My thought is that conservatives and liberals engage with politics in a completely different way. In our ideology, there is room for humor, fun and entertainment. With the left, they are never really entertained. They are never happy and they never have fun.
Everything about them is about envy and entitlement. The only way those things can manifest themselves is in the form of destruction. Whether it be actual physical destruction, or the destruction of societal norms.
When it comes down to it, no one wants to hear some angry person speak. It doesn't make anyone feel good or inspired. The truth of it all is that millions and millions of these angry people still vote.
Yes, Trump rallies show a lot for voter enthusiasm and they are great for republicans, but the nature of our political ideologies make them more viable for us.
In addition, Trump has always been a purely entertaining and engaging public figure. He's a ratings monster, and many people just want to see the show and then get red pilled on energy.
close, but you are missing a key reason why the left doesn't have a talk radio equivalent:
they are made up of low information voters.
talk radio is hours discussing a topic in depth. the left's supporters are literally too stupid or don't have the desire to go past the sound bytes of anything.
no leftwing talk radio show would be successful because the left isn't smart enough for it.

Even if their audience had living brain cells the host has nothing to say. No fact supports the Democrats position on any issue.
