Yes. Half the country thinks Trump is for the little guy and Harris is an elitist asshole.
Trump was born rich. Harris grew up middle class and a member of two minority groups. The problem is the democrats are shit at messaging. It’s why Walz calling republicans weird took off. Democrats don’t usually come up with sound bites like that.
I sincerely don't understand how this is even possible. A lot of these people are old, do they not remember the 90's? Trump being "Smug Rich Asshole: The Character" was his whole brand, and people loved him for it because we were still drinking that "Capitalism good" kool-aid left over from the cold war.
How is this man with a literal solid gold toilet "The Voice of the People"
This whole nonsense makes me perfectly understand how "War of the Worlds" was mistaken for a legitimate news broadcast.
Bob Altemeyer explains the phenomenon well in The Authoritarians. It’s literally how their brains are wired. The book is free here: https://theauthoritarians.org/
I'm only a chapter in, but found the section on conventionalism curious. It may explain why they take such issue with being called "weird": If they value their perception of being "normal", "weird" isn't just an insult used against people you don't like, it's an attack on a principal personality trait.
Yup. It attacks one of their core beliefs and makes them so damn mad.
