Yeah I was too brief and didn’t expand on my point.
What I mean to say is that, in my opinion, a contributing reason to why trump won an election is because everyone who was tempted to vote for him was driven underground in large part because they were being written off by people basically saying they were all these extreme things.
When such people are driven underground they no longer engage and so not only are they now lost to the left because they are not in the conversation…they’re also going to surprise the shit out of us when they turn up and vote for that lunatic.
If instead the left recognised that some people only agreed with some of what he said, and they weren’t all fringe lunatics with reprehensible ideas, perhaps we could engage with them on common ground and win them over - show them the real evil of Trump.
