No. I’m striving to have empathy for those that voted for Trump, or Brexit, or Bolsanaro, or etc. If we truly want to sway people away from Trump(and his ilk), it may behoove us to understand their perspective and not deny the reality that they inhabit.
We can mock them for being rubes that voted for an obvious conman(I’ve done that myself at times, to their faces and online). If I want to sway people away from Trump, what I won’t do is lie to them as well, and pretend that the other option on the ballot was something other than a proven neo-liberal huckster.

I didn’t say otherwise. But they didn’t stick it to elites.
There wasn’t an option on the table to do so.
Either pure shamelessness or decent Trump trolling, honestly have no idea which

Skipping breakfast ain’t going to hurt you. Water fasting for a month on the other hand, no bueno.
I’ve been doing 16/8 fasts forever ie skipping breakfast. I don’t think it’s magic or anything, it’s just the easiest way for me to restrict calories
20/4 probably fine too but I get light-headed every time I try it
That psycho that runs the water fasting retreats with zero medical staff on site should be in prison. LOL Florida

I agree that there was no option on the table that was a true “stick it to the elites”. Obviously we are talking about the candidates of the two factions of the Business Party.
What I beleive Blyth was getting at in his comments, was about the feeling that drew (some but not all, and of those just in part but not entirely) to choose a conman who told them the lies they liked to hear vs the con woman who told them lies that they didn’t like as much.
Inside us all is the RATM “fuck you I won’t do what you tell me” ethos.
The article is not nearly as optimistic as the headline. It quotes a bunch of very weak and vague 'maybe’s from the people necessary to kill it. It’s a thinly-veiled plea by the author.
Always projection, also lol at 4% unemployment
The form of these tweets is probably familiar to his old mistresses.

That is what he meant when he said he assumed some are good people.
