Calling trump weird worked because it’s blatantly obvious. The dude is incredibly weird. But the Democrats have been afraid to use any sort of attack strategies regardless of truth, so they’ve been taking the high road while the opposition is ripping down the low road in a muscle car.

We’re never going to come together as long as the Democrat party exudes pretentiousness and superiority. There are a lot of people on the right who don’t like where the right is going, but don’t understand half of what the left is saying, and feel insulted by the stuff they do understand. The Democrats need messaging for the working class or they will never bridge that gap.

It’s damn near impossible to gain someone’s trust and loyalty by telling them that their experiences and opinions don’t matter, and the only thing they have a right to do is listen. While it’s good advice to listen when someone who has lived something you haven’t is speaking, people are going to tune out if the speaker ends the speech with “and everything you think is bullshit and doesn’t matter, so shut up”. A lot of the Democrat’s messaging is very exclusionary, while claiming to be all about inclusion.
