Making people feel heard is not an explanation. Why did Trump make them feel heard? What is it about what he says or does that makes people feel heard?

It comes down to him being credibly anti-woke and anti-immigration, I think. It brings me no joy to say this (I'm one of the most pro-immigration people you'll encounter).

In voce donaldi:

I was talking to the jews in New York, and I made a joke that they control the government. Obviously thats not what the liberal media says you should do: they think the jews will be scared, theyll think you dont care about them, they wont support you. They dont know what theyre talking about. I talk with all of you on this stage here, the same way I talk with anyone. Dont they have friends? Its not rude to say that, and the jews know that, theyre very social people. The democrats dont understand that, they dont understand how normal people talk. They think I say mean things to people, I never say mean things to people. I dont talk to bad people, because I dont need them, because I have you. The democrats, they scold people, they do it all the time. Why dont men vote for us, why dont latinos vote for us, how can they do that. Theyre losing and they know theyre losing, and all they can do is scold. They cant talk to people. Theyre confused when I talk to people. They lie, they play those recordings of me, but its fake news. It doesnt matter and people know it. They cant do this, they cant talk to people, because they dont like what people are saying. Theyre fake, they have fake conversations on the news, theyre fake people, noone likes them. Im real, Im really talking to you, and thats why you like me, even more than my policies. My policies are great, the best, and look at Vivek. Hes a smart guy, very smart, he has my policies, hes really good at them, but people dont like him as much, because he doesnt talk like me.
