That audience doesn't exist, and most conservatives are not participating in the discourse in good faith. For Democrats, it means you stop trying to persuade those people to change their minds, and focus on motivating and mobilizing the majority of voters who don't like Trump. |
I’ll tell you exactly what the media will do with that. They’ll pit his supporters against the Resistance.
What planet are you on? The media doesn’t believe it has a centrist audience. It believes it has warring tribes of idiots to whip into a frenzied battle.
It knows this because it worked assiduously to help create these warring tribes.
