98% of Trump supporters would vote for him again * [View all]

[DemocratSinceBirth]

98% of Trump supporters would vote for him again. Let's wrap our melons around that. They like Trump because he hates the people they hate and that includes us.

President Donald Trump remains an angry, irrational figure, someone who still must stir up hatred — against the press, against immigrants, against Democrats — to enliven his base. Rhetorically, he is still the candidate of the resentful America First crowd, not the president of the entire country. His rambling, incoherent and factually deficient remarks in Harrisburg, Pa., remind us of the pathetic emptiness of the message — I'm with you because I hate the same people you do.

If I can use some good old American slang Deplorable ain't changin. No sirre, Bob. Deplorabilism is a religion and its adherents are as faithful to its leader, Donald Trump, as any religion. If not outright contempt the best way to deal with them is benign neglect. We will try to help them because by helping them we help non-Deplorables as well, but it is the height of folly to believe we can reach them. They hate us !

The goal going forward is mobilization, not persuasion. Let the lost take care of the lost. There are more of us than there are of them. A lot more.
