I mean, it works with the Republican campaign, why didn't work for the Democrats campaign? Literally, Trump spent most of his campaign demonizing the other side.
That's what irks me about the "Harris lost because she ran a terrible campaign" argument. The reality is, Trump ran a far worse campaign. In the final months, the dude was up on stage saying stuff that made medical physicians think he was mentally declining. The guy wasn't forming sentences, and he was talking about the size of some dudes dick.
We have all of these people trying to explain Harris's failure without also recognizing the campaign that Trump ran. This is not a genuine way of analyzing the results of this election. The reality is Harris's campaign had some blunders, but the Trump campaign had far more major blunders in comparison; but he still won. I would like to know how that happened...
You missed the Crux of what I said. You have to earn their votes. You have to give them what they want. That's what Republican voters want. They want the hatred. Of course that won't work on Democrats or leftists. If it did they'd be Republicans. What appears to be a blunder to one side is a victory to the other. If the Cheney's had stood up there with Trump and praised him Republicans would have loved it, for the other side it made our skin crawl.
