In reply to the discussion: Stop pleading for understanding and kindness for Trump Voters [View all]Last edited Fri Dec 30, 2016, 07:52 AM - Edit history (2)
they are going to need our votes. After the Republicans shred all of the safety nets and the promised jobs don't materialize. The idiocy of what they did will be more evident than it already is.
This isn't a game and voting for what is being planned isn't a "win" by any measure. It's unimaginable that they would vote for that again just to spite us. That they would be willing to hurt themselves simply to spite us would only aid in showing just how hateful, or stupid, they actually are.
To get these people to vote Democratic the candidate would have to be "bullshit diplomatic" in order to get their vote. But at what point do you say no more bending over backwards for the kind of people who are willing to throw tantrums like a 5 year old in a toy store?
The Democratic party has been sliding towards Regan Republicanism for years in an effort to court these voters. Hillary openly appealed to them during this election cycle. Many of them publicly said "oh Trump is a bad man I'll hold my nose and vote for her". They then promptly turned around stabbed her right in her back.
Why do we have to beg and plead, and grovel with them to vote for their own well being?
