In the endless search for the magic key that Democrats can use to unlock the hearts of white people who vote Republican, the hot new candidate is respect. If only they cast off their snooty liberal elitism and show respect to people who voted for Donald Trump, Democrats can win them over and take back Congress and the White House.
The assumption is that if Democrats simply choose to deploy this powerful tool of respect, then minds will be changed and votes will follow.
As a voter says in The Great Revolt, a new book by conservative journalist Salena Zito and Republican operative Brad Todd, One of the things I really dont get about the Democratic Party or the news media is the lack of respect they give to people who work hard all of their lives to get themselves out of the hole.
I despise Barack Obama. I think primarily because I dont think he thinks very much of people like me, one Republican told The Posts Dan Balz. One of the places I would agree with the hard-core Trump people, theyre tired of being treated as the enemy by Barack Obama, he went on. His comment, the whole thing, its been worn out to death, that clinging to God and guns, God and guns and afraid of people who dont look like them, blah, blah, blah. Just quit talking down to me.

Excellent.
Well written. Thank you.
Liars can’t be trusted. Democrats are deluded thinking all it takes is some simplistic outreach to Trump voters.
1) We aren’t simple, and 2) we know propaganda when we see, hear and smell it.
How could the godless ever gain the respect of the Godly?
And that, sir, is a GREAT tagline!

I thank you, maam.

The article itself was a steaming pile.
What? Why would I respect a herd of amoral bovines who somehow manage to walk on their hind legs?
Progressives are enemies of the Republic and not fit to breathe American air
Gee I can’t understand why? Maybe because they call them names, assault them, and tell them that they are stupid? Could that be it?
We are not just treated like the enemy by the likes of Barack Obama. Hillary did it as well. So did Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and many, many other politicians.
However, never forget who else treats us like the enemy. The 60+ million people who voted for hillary treat us as the enemy as well. And they are our neighbors, family members, and people we work with.
Do you know a person who cried after hillary lost in 2016? That person considers you the enemy.
There is no recovery for the demo_rats. I trust they lose big this November (again...) and President Trump again triumphs in 2020.
JoMa
Amen.
“We are not just treated like the enemy by the likes of Barack Obama. Hillary did it as well. So did Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and many, many other politicians.”
“However, never forget who else treats us like the enemy. The 60+ million people who voted for Hillary treat us as the enemy as well. And they are our neighbors, family members, and people we work with.”
Well spoken! And it’s a truly scary thought. But it’s true and each of us “deplorables” has to be ready at the individual level for any eventuality.
NRA sticker on your vehicle? Someone wants to key it or else run you off the road. Think about it. Ever practiced firing from your vehicle while either moving or stopped? I have & do.
Don’t forget, there are still enough Morons to put the DemoncRats back in power. It’s a matter of turnout and sanity.
We will find out this November and in 2020 if 2016 was just a one off or a sign that People in this Country are “woke”.
Of course, with the negative percentage of Media coverage of POTUS Trump (91%) equaling the positive coverage of Lord Obama by the same Media (don’t doubt me), you have to wonder if any Republican could be elected Dog Catcher.
Its comments like yours that keep me coming back here!
What is there to respect: they are avowed communists who hate America and American citizens.
Yes, the comments at the original article are as delusional as the ones that are usually at NYT articles. We truly live in different universes. My liberal sisters are never exposed to intelligent conservative viewpoints. They simply don’t want to hear any. Conservatives can’t help but hear liberal viewpoints since we are bombarded with them throughout the week by liberal media and schools. The author is clueless and so are his readers. But he plays the “victim card” and so he can feel morally superior and not have to change.
Outstanding post of the day!
