20. To be frank...

I live in a small town most of my life and I do know Trump voters that are better people than most Democrats. And I don't mean people in my family or close friends. I find the small-town southeast to be nicer than the people in the big cities in the northeast.

Democrats have these things working against them:

1. The state of the education system.
2. The media. No, it's not just Fox. It's also the so-called "lib'ral media" that mormalizes Trump.
3. Democratic messaging. I can't emphasize this enough, Dems are no longer considered the party of the working class. It's not enough to preserve social security and Medicaid. Dems have to aggressively promote new ideas and not care if Democratic donors think it's too radical.
