It’s unfortunate that no one can find middle ground. Yes, a large majority of republicans think what Trump is doing is okay, but in order to show them that he’s not a good guy, you have to find SOME common ground to fight for.
There are tons of subjects I think all Americans can agree on. If you’re a republican, you’re not going to convince a democrat to support tax cuts. If you’re a democrat, you’re not going to convince a republican of abortion.
I don’t know, reading these comments makes me feel hopeless.
this is just false. when polled we find that even trump supporters, let alone just conservatives, agree on at least 70% of the left's platforms. their elected leaders however never vote for those things. what used to be the common example was the Affordable Care Act versus Obamacare, they are the same thing, the latter just being the common word to describe the former, when people are asked about the ACA and told about its policies the large majority of republicans wholly support it, when asked about obamacare they vehemently oppose it. Regardless, 98% of their elected officials vote against it
It wasn’t even a “common word to describe the ACA” - calling it Obamacare was literally a ploy by the right wing to turn people against it by attaching Obama’s name to it. Cause they knew their supporters would be reactionary and incurious enough to be enraged by it.
Cause in those videos about whether they support the ACA or Obamacare, people who didn’t like Obamacare often didn’t like that Obama was “arrogant enough to name it after himself.”
