I think what Trump suppporters fail to understand is that many Americans (likely a majority, but who really knows) actually feel this way. When I talk to my many friends who support Trump, they say they felt the same way about Obama.
I don't get how people felt that way about Obama, but they did.
Trump supporters, you should also know that people feel this way about your guy.
I am not trying to get into who is right or wrong, but I'll say this: If you can feel that strongly about one, you should be capable of understanding how someone else can feel that strongly about the other.
^You don't have to agree with this message, but you should understand a lot of people feel that way. If you really want to "Make America Great Again", then understand you won't get there any faster by belittling people and patronizing or condescending on them, any more than they "got there" by doing that to you.
I can honestly say that I have at least heard, AND UNDERSTOOD how the people who elected Trump felt about the "status quo" that they voted against. I have changed my way of thinking, without changing my values. It seems to me, now, that the Trump base is not willing to do that which they asked the rest of America to do.
Trump base: If you really believe that Trump has us on the right path, and you want others to agree, you'll need to be more realistic. You'll need to acknowledge his mistakes when he makes them, and you'll need to respond to opposition with reason and compassion, rather than flat-out hate and beligerence. If you have a point, the only way to get it accross will be to act like adults. It's what you demanded from the left, and you are refusing to do it.
IMO, the add is SPOT-ON, and I daily wonder if we can survive four more years of him. I had to endure ridicule from costomers on a call last night, they were from NZ and Singapore. They not only ridiculed America, but they pitied us. I never, in my entire life, thought I'd be the recipient of Pity for being American. Thank you Trump.
Label me TDS all you want. I still maintain friendship with many of his supporters, and a marriage with one of them. I don't agree with much of anything he does, yet I can still respect the people who do. I don't see the same from his base.
It's Not "Morning in America" Anymore. It's "Mourning In America" Interesting Lincoln Project Ad
This 1-minute ad ran last night for the first time and set the President off in a Tweet storm frenzy calling the members of the Lincoln Project, a Republican Conservative think tank "a bunch of losers" among other nasties. Is the ad really that bad for Trump? I am of the opinion Trump is invincible at this point:
"There's mourning in America. And under the leadership of Donald Trump our country is weaker and sicker and poorer. And now Americans are asking, "If we have another four years like this will there even be an America?"

They are not conservative.
You can't tell me that anyone who would be willing to put rabid Democrats in power is conservative.
Maybe I could see it with the Democrats of old... but not these Democrats today. No way.

From what I see in interviews George Conway and Rick Wilson, author of "Everything Trump Touches Dies" ARE Republicans and no, they don't necessarily want to see Biden in office. What I have seen of their explanation of why they founded the Lincoln Project is because they view Trump as a cancer on the Republican party--indicative of everything wrong with Republicansim today. They want the Republic party to get back to the era of Saint Reagan who they feel exemplified the very best traits Republican conservatism offered in days gone by.
They’re the conservatives that didn’t get sucked into the trump hive mind...
Or should I say suckered?
I like suckered.
