In reply to the discussion: Many Trump voters are NOT a lost cause... [View all]brer cat
(24,565 posts)77. I totally agree, me.
I truly don't understand the desire to appease racists and bigots. Like the OP, I live in a very red area and I haven't encountered a single one who has any regret or remorse. Quite the contrary, they are happy their man/child is in charge and they hope he destroys the liberal "elites," forces immigrants, whether legal or not, out of the country, and puts people of color back in their "place." There are a ton more non-voters than racists who might eventually see the light. That is where our work should be.

It's a two way street. Are they making any real effort to learn about their fellow man?

Trumps' was nothing more than successful commercial branding for the lowest common denominators.
