In reply to the discussion: I see so many posts calling the voters who didn't support Harris "stupid" [View all]brush
(59,173 posts)133. Stupid? Somewhat. Racist, misogynist and white suppremacist? For sure...
and why do we want to win over racist, misogynistic and white suppremacists? They've shown us who they are and as Maya Angelou advised us long ago, when people do that, believe them.
They've set the country on a path to fascism and we just have to ride it out and hope we haven't descended into a modern version of 1930s Germany.
A nation gets the leader it deserves, and apparently more than half of us chose a narcissistic, racist, misogynist and white supremacist pig.

OP
And the corrupt SCOTUS 6. We are screwed. I'm keeping my head down and hoping to ride it out.

Because the republicans will make an effort to tell them we're calling them stupid.

I guess folks that have no plans for winning an election going forward don't care.

We need to lean into the stupid and run a straight white male with charisma. This is all a Tik Tok show now

They'll tell them that anyway. They told them Biden called them garbage which wasn't true. n/t

Unfortunately, it was true - Biden's exact words are all over social media

You haven't read your own thread if this is the first positive suggestion you've seen.

Okay. Point taken. But most people seem more interested in disagreeing with me than suggesting a strategy

We got Barack Obama, a man. Then Trump defeated Hillary, a woman. Trump lost to Joe, a man. Then...

This might be true, but Obama was one in a million. I'm not sure I would want to risk

You realize a whole lot of them voted for Biden in 2020. They switched and they might switch back

Identity politics is what lost us this election. Sad as it makes us, some Democrats and democratically aligned voters

I'm with you (sorta) but do you honestly think ANYTHING would have brought them to our side?

I don't need to resort to name calling; just sit back and watch the Trump presidency play out.

I'm sure many of them held their noses for trump, because they were desperate.

Blaming the voters means our Party leaders don't have to explain what went wrong. We really saw this in 2016.

I wouldn't call them stupid. I would call them people who had no problem supporting a racist, sexist, bigot,

Misidentifying who you're dealing with isn't a long term strategy for success.

In a democracy, the stupid have a voice. Wouldn't be a Democracy if it were otherwise. Sucks sometimes.

It works for Trump...obviously. Us Dems tend to be more civil than the GOP but it must not work?

no one said it was a long term strategy for success, but if you voted for the traitorous rapist, YOU'RE STUPID

Shall we "reach out" to them? More interviews in diners in the NYT? Pat them on the head?

Other apt adjectives are: shortsighted, simplistic, deluded, misinformed, shallow and selfish

By the end of the first year of the Trump reign of terror, they'll be calling themselves stupid.

If they are not stupid then they are evil. The charitable thing is to assign stupidity as their major malfunction.

They knew what the stakes were. They practiced malicious inaction. They don't get a pass from me.
