Then I realized that it's more important for them to proclaim that Trump is a racist/bigot/sexist/homophobe/neo-Nazi and insane than to actually defeat him. Is there a single non-ideologue here who believes this is the way that the Dems are going to defeat him? My experiences with them is that most of them or no less ignorant of actual issues than many of you folks were during Obama's time when you told us he himself was a racist/socialist/communist/Islamist/Mau-Mau radical.
The best analyst of what's been happening I've seen is Victor Davis Hanson. Among other things, he points out how the sort of Dems whose mental health has been forever impaired by Trump's election are also apoplectic that a billionaire can successfully cast himself as anti-elitist. They can't wrap their heads around that, nor how anyone could think the same of them.
