Nobody Is Listening To Me [View all]

I was right all along. A candidate would come along and use the phrase "political correctness" to ride his way into the white house. I have said we need to do something to counteract this since the election, and people are still not listening to me. I hate to sound unreasonable, but it seems like Democrats want Donald Trump to be a two term President. We need to come up with terms to counteract his ability to draw voters out based on these dog whistle terms. Like it or not, but terminology, especially on cultural issues, is a key issue. Not just bread and butter issues and the economy. We know this because, despite Obama's approval ratings on the economy, Trump was able to get people to believe whatever he wanted them to believe. Yes, we need to have an economic message that speaks to all people, but we need to nail Donald Trump and his cohorts on this too. Unless everybody wants Donald Trump to be re-elected in 2020. There is absolutely no way I am wrong about this.
