I think the blanket invective thrown at the Trump voters in this thread shows a short-sightedness that may well guarantee him a second term.
It may feel good to label everyone who voted for him, or is tempted to vote for him, as somehow disgusting, stupid or deplorable and if your primary end goal is to get it off your chest then have at it. There is a huge chunk of his voter base who are exactly those things but when you apply it indiscriminately you just aren’t helping the end result.
If you want to get him out though it is a terrible strategy. There are people who voted for him that are not intrinsically wedded to him in an ideological way and they are open to persuasion. That persuasion has to take the form of a better offer and a better candidate and allow a form of soft landing for them. Less of a “you are a fucking idiotic, hateful, stupid, racist moron…please vote for me” more of a “I know what Trump offered you and why you lent him your support…but we think we can offer you a better option”. I can think of no circumstances under which the former will reap rich rewards.
This is from someone who does, and always has, thought of Trump as a bully, racist, misogynistic orange twat who is just about competent at business. I’d no sooner vote for him than cut my own leg off and I’m opposed to pretty much every move he makes, I’m further left than Bernie Sanders.
What I hope is that those expressing those sentiments here are just blowing off steam and apply a more conciliatory tone when talking to Trump voters in real life.
