Yup, it’s the exact same propaganda trap that Hillary’s campaign fell prey to. Leading up to the vote with her and Trump, a large part of her campaign messaging had basically been “we’ve got this, he’s an idiot, he has no chance, he’s such an awful candidate.”
And then about a month before the election, there was a hard pivot when they realized they had lulled their voters into a false sense of security. The messaging suddenly changed from “we’ve got this” to “oh for the love of god, please go vote.” But it was too little, too late.
I think they seriously underestimated and still do just how many people actually swapped from Bernie to Trump.
I’ve met a couple of these idiots. They have little understanding of how government works and are very populist minded. In each case they were seeking someone who would “shake things up”.
Not as many as Hillary supporters went to McCain after she lost to Obama, so maybe drop the tired blaming of the left for the center’s incredible ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
And this isn’t by a little bit, 24-25% of Hillary supporters voted McCain compared to 6-12% of Bernie supporters voting Trump. And that’s not even getting to the fact that Bernie was an outsider candidate who likely attracted people who wouldn’t otherwise identify as Democratic voters. So get another fucking argument, I’m fed up with this bullshit.
