1. Fair about not making cartoon characters out of an entire group of people. It is, of course, difficult to talk about politics without using generalities, and then the generalities can raise these sorts of issues.

2. Yes, Trump makes the MAGAs feel special. This "real American" BS started with Palin and the Tea Party, but Trump rode that wave. I would put this in the category of stupid. A con man always makes the victims feel special. Then he cons them. I would put empty promises into this category as well.

3. The communities where Trump does well aren't necessarily the communities that "aren't doing well." Trump's support is predicted first and foremost by browning. Communities that are becoming less white, are pro-Trump. I suppose hating the same thing could be conceptualized as caring about them, but it's a stretch. I mean, did the US care about the Soviet Union or vice versa during WWII?

4. At the end of the day, the primary disagreement between us is the extent to which MAGAs realize Trump doesn't care about them. Maybe they don't. I'm not going to insist on this point because I really don't know. But there has to be a reason why they talk about him being sent by God.

5. My focus in these discussions is trying to explain the whole "Trump was sent by God" thing, the "Jesus is watching over Trump," etc. Trump isn't the first one to appoint justices or promise security at the border, etc. They didn't say Bush was sent by God. They didn't say Reagan was sent by God. Only Trump. And they know he's a very bad person, which is why they say things like, "sometimes God works through imperfect men" or "God's plans are incomprehensible to us." They wouldn't have to resort to such self-humiliating bullshit if they didn't know something is wrong there.

6. There is also the personality piece to the puzzle. The people who like Trump are people with authoritarian personalities. People with the Dark Triad of traits are especially Trumpers. That's sort of orthogonal to the discussion here, but anyway. . .

1972 - Jesse Helms v. Nick Galifinakis, US Senate

“Vote Jesse! He’s one of us.”

“Real American” BS started long before Sarah Palin.

In 1950, in the US Senate race between Frank Porter Graham and bigoted segregationist Willis Smith, Jesse Helms and Tom Ellis (a critical part of Jesse’s political organization, The Congressional Club) produced and spread a photo of Mrs. Graham dancing with a black man.

Dr. Graham finished first in the 1950 Democratic Senate primary; but, he didn’t win a majority - leaving open the possibility of a run-off election.

Willis Smith was going to concede and not run in a run-off. Helms, Ellis, and other right-wingers got wind of this and rallied bigots to Willis Smith’s front lawn. Smith agreed to run.

He defeated Dr. Graham.

Whoa. Not a common occurrence to hear an American pol use that tone towards a political opponent, much less a Dem. Biden has a few times, but typically in standalone speeches. I respect that Harris isn’t going to let Baier sane wash ttump’s violent fascist plans - because folks, ttump, theil, miller, Vance, and the heritages have violent, violent plans.
 
Clip's I have seen she was strong. Bret tried to bring Joe Biden into it and played a clip of Trump lying about his enemy of the people. She got indignant and told him that he knew Trump said he would use the military for his enemies. She did aight!
