Conservative voters clearly want some sort of change but aren’t articulate enough to know what it is or eloquent enough to ask. They want someone to get into the government and fuck up the process as an act of protest. But they don’t know how to ask for that. Instead they vote in the loud, viscous remains of a person with a fragile ego to be the damage they want done to those who they think wronged them.
Cruelty is the point.
The issue is that a lot of people have every good reason to be pissed at the state of the world and to be angry that it isn’t changing for the better. The Republicans sure aren’t ever going to make things better, but their entire marketing technique is based on harnessing that anger. Democrats, on the other hand, seem to mostly be afraid of even acknowledging that the anger and its causes even exist, and that’s one of their biggest weaknesses.
“We’re the Democrats we can’t possibly be responsible for any of this frustration and anger. Also have you heard those young people talking about workers rights and not supporting genocide? Ah to be young and naive.”
