This, it'd be very easy to sway the public... Fuck just have Stephen Colbert write your campaign speech, you'd win in a fucking landslide.
This is a big problem and you've identified it correctly: When Trump says "They're coming for ya, but I'm in the way. We'll make America Great Again and defeat Sleepy Joe before Kamela eats your dogs!" people say "He's a friend of the common man, standing up to the elite.", when Kamela talks about how her comprehensive new debt plan is working actually and the chart says...... Well no one gives a shit what the chart says because they're falling asleep.
Talk to the voting public like they're children, Democratic Policies are literally too smart for anyone dumber than me to pay attention... and I'm pretty fucking dumb.
The Democrats do some "Appeal to feels", but they do it the wrong way. They talk about how they're going to take all the bad stuff sitting down because they're the "Bigger man", and they'll "Maybe look into thinking about doing something about it I reckon!"
No one's fooled by that, it's surrender at worst and apathy at best.
When Trump says he's gonna kick some ass, he's both acknowledged the problem and at least pretended to give a shit about it.
This is what people are talking about when they say Trump "sympathizes with the suffering of the common man."
