Democrats are tone deaf right now. We are where the Republicans were back when they were being yanked around and controlled by the religious nuts and their domestic social engineering.
Dems cannot get away from the hurt feelings mode. This idea that we have to create a perfectly safe vanilla society where nobody says anything mean about somebody else. Oh my god, somebody's feelings are hurt. Let's stage a protest in Menlo Park so that love trumps hate.
Good lord...
Get back on economics. The giant gulf between the rich and everyone else. The dying middle class where our economic model is Mexico... a rich ruling class, no middle class to speak of, and a vast poverty class that is ignored and demonized.
The only thing Trump is delivering is lip service. What he is actually doing and the only things he'll actually be successful at is more trickle down, more bread crumbs off the rich man's table, more handouts to corporations, more tax breaks for billionaires, more sneaky deals that benefit the very companies he still presides over and his family lords over while poor ignorant dupes in Ohio the rest of the rust belt stand there waiting for his empty promises to come true.
There is a reason why Trump and his buddies steadfastly suck up to the Russians as that's where they're all going to flock to when the USA finally collapses under the weight of the 1% looting all the wealth out of this country until it is only a skeleton, then they leave and head off to Russia with everything that isn't nailed down and leave the rest to collapse in a bloody civil war over an already hollow country.
