Donny Deutsch: Dems Should Tell Trump-Supporting Voters They're "Like Nazis"



The video header isn't quite right but what Deutsch says here damn well better resonate.

Yes, Trump voters have no shame. But you're not playing to convert them. You're shaming everyone else who doesn't vote and for those within the Democratic side that often skip out on midterms.

Trump voters ARE this now. They are Trump. Deutsch nails it.

The people we're trying to wake up won't understand the distinction, and the former doesn't create the visceral response the latter does.

and speak directly to the core beliefs and policies...
while offering some better way. We need to address and
defang their xenophobia fears, somehow.
At this point, it may be more psychiatry and
criminal justice than politics. It's a really tough
and dangerous problem.

That they never reasoned themselves into to begin with. It just does not happen.

these children. I was the most upset I've ever been since CORRUPT RUMP started this.

She ain't getting off so easy. I will fucking HAUNT her. If this is what she wants to believe then she can own it and she should be proud. She can't handle any facts as soon as facts come in she starts to flip out.

30 years of living with a racist disgusting husband and faux news has done it's work....and ya know what as much as she would like, I'm NOT going to be quiet about it.

A lot of us have reached our limits with it because of just how immoral these people are and how divorced from fact and reality they are.

brought anything up. Surely I thought this was common ground. Well sorry toots, but my area is a no bullshit zone. I will pick my battles because she seriously flips out and shuts down....I have to be tactful. There have been inroads, she admitted he was an asshole over Parkland. But once in awhile there is a blowout. Fuck it RUMP is not going to tear me apart from my sister....FUCK HIM.

She did admit to me later that she was crying too...but one bad word about RUMP or R's and it's all defense and she shuts down.

But this past week really pushed a lot of folks over the line and are far more willing to do this now.

What good does it do us to become like them? Would it not only divide us further? How could that help?

Psychologically programmed to accept their propaganda as the truth, innocent people are criminals, and to accept corruption as ok , and hurting children as now acceptable. Like the Nazis used, psychology to turn them into their followers too.
