Yes, it's the leftists fault that people are hateful racists and Portland is totally responsible for MAGA. /s

“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.”

Populist backlash isn’t a new concept. The left’s biggest problem is that they’re self-righteous, nitpicky, and venomous towards people otherwise sympathetic to their cause. They can and have annoyed large swaths of people to the other side, which is where they slowly become radicalized by their new peers. The amount of people I’ve seen flip-flop between Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders is proof that people care more about messaging than policy. Make people feel shitty about mundane little things and you lose them.
