I agree with much, but not all, of what you said here. As noted in the OP, there are definitely groups that will always support you, and another that will always oppose you. Definitely there are people who voted for Trump because they share his hatreds. They view him as giving voice to their deeply-held beliefs -- and indeed, he has. But I'm not concerned about them come election day 2020. As the old Irish saying goes, "Fuck them."
It's those who make up "Group C" in political Science 101, who are undecided -- including those uncertain of if they will vote -- and those who are not firmly committed to either candidate. That is who a campaign focuses on in any potentially close election contest. And how they are approached is important.
We've all heard the saying that not all of Trump's supporters are white nationalists, but all white nationalists are Trump supporters. That's a great example of the message to be communicated by highlighting Trump's cruel racism.
