(12,051 posts)39. I completely agree as well. Democrats who still think that they can sway Trump
voters with education, logic, etc., are baying at the moon. Trump won because most of his voters LIKE WHAT HE IS AND ARE LIKE HIM THEMSELVES.
Now, where do we go with that information? One of the places we SHOULDN'T go is to the idea that we can tease, wheedle, and entice Trump voters to vote for a Democrat by being mealymouthed about Democratic principles. Nope.
It's time to GOTV among non-voters and young folks. Forget the Trumpsters. They have certainly written us off for all time.
