Since Donald Trump’s election, his opposition party hasn’t acted much like one. The same cannot be said of Bernie Sanders, who hit the road this weekend in red states in an effort to stoke pushback to Trump’s slash-and-burn plutocratic governance.
“Trumpism is not going to be defeated by inside-the-Beltway politicians,” he said.
Harris: “I’m just like you! I own guns, and I’m scared of all the same things you are. See? I’m on the same side as people leftists hate!”
Leftists: “…wait what?”
Bernie: “Look, we probably disagree on a lot of things. And we’re probably never going to agree on them. But Trump is going to get you hurt, and I want to help even if you’ll never vote for me.”
Now, what are the softer conservatives (non-MAGAs) going to say in response to that? Obviously it remains to be seen; maybe a lot, maybe not much yet. But I bet it’ll help someday.
