You're missing the point.
If you're not for open borders, you're a racist.
If you don't support feminism (in its current militant form), you're a misogynist
If you're for tax cuts, you hate poor people
If you're in the middle class and you're upset about your health care costs going up 5,000%, you're an elitist.
If you're successful it's because you were unfairly privileged.
If you accept that the first amendment also applies to conservative messages, you're a fucking fascist.
And if you don't fall in line, you're hateful, selfish, entitled, and bigoted.
We had that for eight years under Obama, and it really started before that in the 90's under Clinton. And the people who got lumped into each group all had one thing in common.....they are the people who pay the bills in this country. Trump tapped into their anger and offered them a candidate who refused to be politically correct if it meant sacrificing sound capitalist policies.
Yet there are many many people on the left, still mindlessly marching in step with the progressive drumbeat of identity politics. And in a stunning example of irony, point to the opposition as 'mindless sheep' bowing to the manipulations of racists, misogynists, and the rest of the deplorables. That inability to engage in an intellectual fact-based debate has weakened the political message of the democratic party.
And that's how Trump got elected.
