Varieties of Trumpism

… Much of Trump’s support came from voters who were reacting to value-laden cultural themes.

Democrats should not, and need not, compromise our values to bring back some of these voters, but we do need to be conscious of what we say and how we say it.

• Aversion to government
• Aversion to change
• Aversion to difference CONT.
