“Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said that he likely will not be able to reach President Trump’s base, saying that some of the most committed of his supporters ‘support the notion’ of creating division.
The New York Post
Most of Trump’s supporters are evangelical Christians who have been programed to accept the ravings of televangelists like Joel Osteen, Pat Robertson and Franklin Graham as the Word of God and they have no problem accepting their false messiah’s mad utterances as Gospel.
Republicans supported Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush and George W Bush because they believed in their conservative ideology, but Trump’s devotees stand behind their man because they are transfixed by his bigger than life persona. His followers are more impressed by the Trump brand than they are by Republican orthodoxy.
It is next to impossible to persuade an evangelical to switch his allegiance to a mainline protestant church or to Catholicism and it’s next to impossible trying to convince a Trump cultist to vote for Joe Biden.
The only way Joe Biden will be able to read Donald Trump’s base is by denying his democratic ideals and tolerating the politics of division, racism misogyny, homophobia and xenophobia.
Biden shouldn’t make an effort to reach Trump’s base, instead he should denounce their bigotry and intolerance. Biden is wise enough not to sell his soul by making an outreach to Trump cultists who are anathema to everything the Democrat Party stands for.
As long as Biden remains true to the values of the Democrat Party, he doesn’t need the support of any MAGA morons to win the election.
