And that silly notion has become a part of a lot of people's lives...politics has become much like a football game on the TV...where you can cheer when your team wins and it makes you feel good all over.
Moral principles take a back seat to winning...and contrary to belief, team loyalty does not insure victory in the next game.
What will win it for the democrats is addressing the issues that you mention with actions, not just words...and this president has not done that...and the reason for it I don't know.
