I would describe myself as left and agree that the left's failure is in applying left ideology when dealing with far right voters.
There needs to be a middle ground, based on pragmatic, not populist politics. In my mind there is only one way to achieve this - sadly it will never happen - this is to cap political donations and make truth in political advertising the law.
True democracy has been decimated by the funding of political parties by big business and the permission we collectively endorsed for candidates to lie their way into office. We are all so blinded by the narrative that we want to hear (cognitive bias) that we are all failing to see that all of these funded parties, built on lies are just a front to benefit their financial backers. Trump is nothing. He is a puppet as was Biden.
So I think nothing about Trump, other than he is a stooge - always was, always has been. He speaks the language of ordinary people - so they listen to his sound bite politics as it gives them a sense that they are in control.
I am terrified of what our children are inheriting. The Hunger Games is alive and well and nobody wants to do anything about it.
