Nobody hates and think as little of their base as Trump does. It’s why he never misses a chance to sell them grifts and tells them the craziest lies. He sees them as an ends to a means.
The Dems do have a bunch that could care less, but I don’t think it’s the overwhelming majority like the GOP. And it’s also harder to get a party in lockstep when values vary widely, instead of just “Dear Leader tell us what you need of me”.
“Republicans worse” and “the democrats are a big tent” are some classic excuses that still don’t make up for the fact that Democrats can’t win elections.
Democrats have won the majority of presidential elections since the 90s…
I tried to push back against the “Democrats only lose” mantra a few months ago. It’s confirmation bias and “don’t look back more than 4 years” that drives this thinking.
I went back to 1992 and was accused of cherry-picking.
Edit: found it
