Democrats Have Always Been Cooler

Democrats have always been cooler than Republicans. Republicans are usually squares. Not hip. Since the days of contrast between the cool guy Kennedy versus the detestable Richard Nixon, Democrats have always been hipper than Republicans. We also have better ties to Hollywood. We can produce more entertaining events and ads. This Convention is well produced. We have better entertainers supporting us. The Republicans just have old weirdos like Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock. I am hoping that Taylor Swift endorses Kamala soon. We have better celebrities on our side.

I think that this is something that has always driven Trump crazy. Trump has always wanted to be amongst the elite and the cool for years and years since his early days in New York. The elite and the establishment in New York never accepted him or liked him. He was always Nouveau Rich and tacky. Trump is an uncool guy that has always been desperate to be in the "in crowd". He cares so much about ratings, crowd size, celebrity, and fluffy positive media coverage. He can not tolerate negative coverage or people laughing at him. He is a narcissist but also a weird oddball. He wants to be popular and belong, but he is no good at it. Most of his political supporters are weirdos too. There are just a large number of them. So Trump is definitely uncool.
