re: #453 Targetpractice

How? No offense, but many of those people have lost grip with reality. They’re convinced that the old factories will be opened up, the lights flipped on, and business returned to what it once was. But that’s not going to happen, those jobs are gone and they’re not coming back. If they can’t deal with that reality, then effort spent trying to reach them is wasted.

I think you are being unfair, The non-deplorables are not well educated, live in communities with local papers that are right-wing, and really want someone who seems to care about them. As I’ve said before, Trump speeches reached out to them and promised them the impossible; if you listened to those sections, you would understand his appeal. The Democrats need to talk to them too — not lie or mislead like Trump — but hear their pain and promise to work with them to find alternatives.
