I am paying attention, it's you who isn't. I'm saying you are wrong because of your habit of looking at 2 situations with only a passing similarity and acting like they are identical, they aren't. This is the faulty logical you keep repeating over and over. You are acting like what Obama faced and what Trump faced / faces are the same, they aren't. You also ignored where I said it didn't work against Obama personally but it worked extremely well against the Democrats, I notice you went quiet when I pointed out Republicans had some of their most successful elections in the best part of a century during the time period you claim their strategy "didn't work". You seem to want to completely ignore this. In fact the Republicans had MORE success when they abandoned any pretence of being reasonable, embraced the Tea Party and then embraced MAGA. You keep ignoring this over and over because you fixate on Obama and nothing else. It clearly did work.
No, you really aren't giving reasons at all. So you act like demonising Trump is a failed tactic, then why isn't Trump demonising everyone also a failed tactic? This second part of the logic you also keep missing. In all the time you criticise certain actions you time and time and time again ignore that Trump is by some distance THE worst culprit for everything you say is a failed tactic. So again, what is your actual reason for Trump being popular? It is definitely not a sense of sympathy for a victim because, let's be honest, sympathy is very low on the MAGA commonly displayed traits. Your sense of the order of events is heavily skewed, Trump was throwing insults and conspiracies right when he was at the back and nobody really paid him much attention. Most of the flak he received was in response to how he acted and after he had got to the front of the race, not before. Hell he was insulting way back in Obama's first term, so stop trying to portray him as a victim. He was not the victim of this gutter politics, he was the agitator.
I know it hurts but you can't both sides everything.
Mate there are so many inaccuracies in this post, im amazed at your confidence in posting them as fact...
Your roght, the 2 situations of Obama and Trump arent the same, Trump has been negatively reported on more AND reported on more lol. 4500 hours of airtime 62% negative in Trump's first 60 days 2016. 2000 hours at 20% negative 2009. So your right, the media and Democrats are after Trump far more than they were Obama, even if you scale in controversies caused internally.
The tactic not only failed against Obama, it failed against Democrats, and Sanders was head and shoulders in charge of the primaries, and even even after getting Gazumped by Clinto she was heavy heavy favourite to win the election. Trump turned the tide, the Republican strategy had very little effect on 2016, they were as steam rolled as the Dems were, and infact a lot of them didnt get on the train until after the win hahaha.
Trump can do and say whatever he wants, he has deflection armour, created by all those false allegations and accusations. Early in his run 2015 he was being decimated, then the Russian pee gate stories and other falsehoods were leaked spying on his campaign etc, and it humanised him, then he hit the debates like a powerhouse and the rest is history. Without those major false stories, and the faux outrage about him grabbing beautiful women by the pussy who let him, put the Dems into a box in the publics view. People saw the reports of him threatening to SA every woman in the country, then saw the raw footage of him chatting **** about beautiful women throwing themselves at him, and they realised the establishment wasnt honest actors in their criticism. Trump has managed this perception incredibly well, playing into him being anti establishment, even when in power lol. MAGA view his current presidency as winning the culture war, and adults returning to power, and theyre relishing it.
What they will absolutely do, as Democrats did with Obama, is promote further presidential power to get what they want, they'll celebrate it, and when a Democrat they hate wins power and uses that power they will cry, like Dems are now that its all illegal and unprecedented.
By the way calling the Tea party a success is a reach lol, a few over turned mid term senate seats, 5 or so wasnt it? followed by a failed election and then dying out wasnt the grass roots game changer they wanted hahahaha I'll give them that they did lay a foundation, and they would take credit for Trumpism, but im not buying that.
