IMPORTANT:
I consider the piece below to be one of the most important articles thiss year for Democrats and people who oppose Donald Trump to read. I am not by any stretch implying that sustained moral outrage is not warranted, appropriate and necessary: I feel it nearly every day. My point is that the current expression of that outrage is having EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of the desired effect on Trump’s supporters and many Republicans. I believe that if our outrage is not reimagined into something that seeks individual human roots in the reasons for supporting Trump and his agenda, rather than using shunning, scorn, and blanket demonization, we may be in for something that is currently inconceivable to many Democrats: a shockingly tepid or even nonexistent “blue wave” this November, and a second term for Trump in 2020. Please consider the following:
