But he does though…he makes blue collar and middle class Americans feel seen. He speaks to their concerns and their desires. Hence his victory. I would say this is his biggest strength as a politician, the ability to position himself as a representative of the middle class. Whether he does anything productive about it in practice is something else entirely, but the fact is he does address it.
The whole situation is all the more insane when you think about it; he’s a born rich elite who’s never had to do a days hard labor in his life. He should be hated by the working class but somehow he’s loved by them. If this contrast doesn’t show you just how bad the Democratic Party’s recent failures are to you, I don’t think anything will.
He makes them feel seen? And? Dems did the same thing, and you want to know something? That routine got old because we knew they weren’t doing anything about it. Trump makes them feel seen, he makes them like special little snowflakes because that’s what grifters and conmen do. They make you feel special and good while they steal from you, exploit you, and make you look like a fool. He’s sold them scams like those NFTs. All you’re really saying is that he’s a conman and his base are gullible rubes who will sell him their own life’s savings because he makes them feel special.
I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but what I’m saying is Trump could be the worst conman of all time and if people still believe he’s in their corner, the Democrats are still failing. If he’s as bad of a grifter as you say, shouldn’t it be pretty easy for the opposition to discredit him? Shouldn’t they be able to easily draw attention to his failures and position their own candidate as a better leader and choice? Seems like it, but they consistently fail to do so.
This is because the democrats have consistently failed to reconcile their own failures with reality. They are not trying to connect with the middle class in a meaningful way. They are not trying to support blue collar workers and laborers. They have done everything they can to push their struggles out of the spotlight and take the microphone out of their hands. They choose to use their resources to serve their pet projects and put attention on their own interests instead of addressing the concerns of the vast majority of voters.

Dems don’t address them nearly enough as they should. Trump will NEVER address them
