4. Whatever the race guys like these are just not that alienated by Trump

Two years later, Mr. Ghalib created another stir when he and other socially conservative Muslims banned the L.G.B.T.Q. Pride flag from publicly owned flagpoles, alarming liberals who said the move was discriminatory and harmful to the city’s welcoming reputation.


Amer Ghalib is a right wing sleazebag who has more in common with Trump than anyone sane. His vote had very little to do with Gaza I suspect. He just actually likes the Republican platform overall I’d bet.

Ditto with this sleazy, opportunistic industrialist:

There is more to politics than race and gender. Religious people across the board (or perhaps the most vacantly religious people-who like the rituals and backwardness sans any actually humane sentiments) like Trumpismo. They want an excuse to vote for this moron.
Ditto re people who dislike economic populism, meaningful environmental regulations.

The Republican Party as a whole appeals to humans in all demographics who are:
somewhat mean-spirited and have scant self awareness; are clueless about science or the environment and generally selfish and self centred. People who would hate any kind of sacrifice and instead spend their lives believing rubbish vacantly.

I am not sure you can woo such people without completely throwing away all progressive or liberal ideals out of the Democratic Party.
