"My gut is that you're seeing a lot of affluent, white suburban voters, well-educated, particularly women, fleeing the Trump party," Schneider told Hill.TV's Jamal Simmons on "What America's Thinking."
"They don't want to have anything to do with Donald Trump, especially now. They don't like him. They don't like his attitude. They don't like the way he governs. His signature attitude is defiance, that is what defines him, and that's very ugly," he continued.

(95,257 posts)It chants well, is impervious to malign interpretation, and actually aligns with the aim of most demonstrators, and the great mass of folks at home who support them.
The academic and activist left not only seems to have no idea of how to properly frame an issue for mass support, but to possess a positive genius for hitting on the framing which will alienate the most people possible.

(38,601 posts)We PAY FOR the police. We should build a police system (notice I avoid force) that we want not just pretend that we have no control other than to watch them like hawks.
We should decide what we want the police to be in our communities (surely not the enemy) and figure out how to get there.
The Magistrate
(95,257 posts)The form policing the police takes can certainly include a variety of systemic reforms, and may well include transfer of funds from armed police to social services that prevent confrontation and crime. The important thing is to get people moving, to capitalize on what has people moving now, which is disgust at brutal excess which clearly owes to racial prejudice and hatred.

Police often watch the homeless & respond to mental health emergencies when it is better to & more effective if we fund programs to address homeless & mental illness to give 2 examples.
The last thing we should be is scared of Trump.

They are part of that college educated white suburban demo that he has lost and in turn by supporting trumpism, the republican party has lost forever.
They HATE him.
Finally Thanksgiving dinners aren't uncomfortable like they were in the 80s and 90s.

Women For Trump!!! Gag me with a spoon.
