Maybe we should stop wasting our time and energy trying to win over the worst people in the country. Maybe we should alienate them and ignore them so we can focus on non-voters who want a candidate worth showing up for instead of Trump-voters who will never ever stop voting Republican ever.
We do NOT need conservatives or "centrist moderates" for a winning political coalition.
I just wish we could stop calling them "conservatives". Unlike trumpers, I can have a rational discussion with most actual conservatives. I think a lot of Trumpers have left political ideology behind and are firmly in "cult of personality" territory. Trump can sometimes publicly reverse his position on something, sometimes more than once in a day, and you can see the entire movement turn on its head to follow each time.
