It's interesting to look at this list, because it feels like a lot of Trump supporters concerns about Trump are the same as the liberal concerns about Trump.
I 100% do not think that all Trump supporter's are _blank_ I think most are good people concerned about their family / living situation / community etc.
But, in a liberal free speech environment, how do you get people to not get the message that "all white men have privilege", or "All Trump supporters are Nazi's". I'm not going to say liberals have no fault here, but the conservative media's fear mongering about say Trans People far exceeds the amount that democrat politicians talk about trans rights.
I don't think that even most liberal women believe that men are more dangerous than a bear, but man that message went viral as shit.
- talldayo 2y agoIt's worth noting that if 90% of Americans voted based on which policy they actually preferred, the remaining 10% of vulnerable voters would still have enough influence to make or break most elections. Platform only takes you so far, those last few voters have to be appealed to by prodding the amygdala into fearing the opponent more than they fear you.
- techfeathers 2y agoYeah, I think there are some things on the edges and long term strategy, but the reality is Biden won in 2020 because of the pandemic and Trump won in 2024 because of inflation. Those would have been enormous headwinds to overcome.

- techfeathers 2y agoI don't disagree with you, but it's strange how I think my fear is the opposite, that especially aligning with silicon valley, that it will accelerate the society that glorifies progress and getting rid of people's livliehood.
