when in reality many people are happy with this or don't care at all about it.

The ones that supported Trump and are upset about high costs of things are happy with what he is doing with things like civil rights.

The ones who actually care about this issue already support Democrats. We aren't going to gain many supporters on this issue.

We will only gain supporters on economic issues.
