Okay but those people are already voting for him. The way American elections work is to appeal to the very small amount of undecided moderates, and to energize your base so they actually show up.
Trump’s base is already as energized as it gets. There’s no good reason to start isolating otherwise persuadable moderates.
Yeah, I know. I may have been kicked out of college twice but I still got a degree in political science.
I agree with you re: Chump's base. The problem is that they've all got raging cases of TB. I don't mean tuberculosis, but instead True Believerism. They think that if they pull the old stunt of beatings will continue until morale improves, they'll get moderate voters in their camp, too. They lack the basic intelligence and self-awareness to realize that all this is counterproductive and is harming them far more than it helps them. Since the base has the tyranny of conviction, well, you know where *that* goes.
Oh come on bro, there's no need to ruin the phrase true believers for me like that, I don't wanna think of these idiots when I hear true believers I wanna think about Stan Lee having a fun time responding to fan letters.
Well what MAGAts and the QAnon clowns *really* are are brainwashed fascists, but no one in polite society wants to utter the phrase. That's the problem with the Dems taking the moral high road when the Repukes punch below the belt.
