> People by and large do not want "solid, modern, coherent plans".

Surely a mother-knows-best attitude will work.

> Both kamala and hillary clinton had those.

Surely denying massive campaign problems, such as "basket of deplorables" and not distancing herself from Biden, will work.

> People want to be told the strong man will make everything better if you just give up a few rights.

Surely strawmanning any solid, modern, coherent plan as stripping away rights will work.

>Does your post, in specific, say anything meaningful? Not really, you just throw out some vapid complaints and then tell us you hope the world will change.

Did you want me to go say some full-time working-class person working paycheck to paycheck can just go run for office and singlehandedly defeat Trump in a landslide victory?

Yeah, those are totally "massive campaign problems". Massive. Gigantic. Career ending.

Oh wait, Trump constantly throws out insults and associated with morally repugnant people. He insults christians and veterans and still got elected. I don't think these are the real issues.

If calling half of your opponents supporters bigots while simultaneously giving the bigots the marketing opportunity of a lifetime isn't a massive campaign problem, then what is? I still see and block people who have "deplorable" in their name eight years later.

He insults christians and veterans, and yet they vote for him overwhelmingly. The rules and issues are obviously different for the left and the right, and whataboutism just doesn't work. Fighting the "fair fight" instead of the actual fight won't end well.
