    He doesn’t ascribe the rise of Trump solely to a lumpen mass of redneck working-class Americans, deplorables to borrow a phrase. “I do not believe that all of Trump’s supporters are racist or sexist or homophobes. I think what’s going on in this country is a belief that the government is failing ordinary Americans.”

    This is the money quote in the article. Biden and the Democrats have ignored the poor and middle class, and to such an extent that people are not going to care that Trump is a fascist. They’re only going to care that he is the agent of change.

    The challenge is to be able to show people that government in a democratic society can address their very serious needs. If we do that, we defeat Trump

    This is a good one too, but Democrats aren’t going to do it. They’re owned by the same rich assholes that own Republicans, and those assholes are making them rich in exchange for keeping the rest of us poor.
