Leftie: "Is Trump's popularity a result of the Left's alienation of Conservatives?"

Here is an Article that shows that the Lefties are starting to do a bit of soul searching about the Trump Phenomenon.

NOTE: This isn't meant to be inflammatory, just a discussion. I'm not jumping to conclusions, merely asking a question.
So, quick witted rebuttals aren't necessary - let's just talk. Cool? Cool. Thanks.

Is Trump's popularity a result of the Left's alienation of Conservatives?

I would seem that during the W. Bush administration, it became increasingly clear that Conservatives hold an "old world" view of things that is rapidly becoming obsolete, or has been obsolete for some time already.

From the Left's point of view, it was time to throw it, and anyone who carried that view, out. Overrule, overwrite, overtake. Justified or not, taken to the extreme or not, it was an uprising within American society where the Left-minded decided they were tired of living in a country mostly influenced by Right-influenced ideals and standards.

In the media, Conservatives and Republicans were perpetually portrayed as racist bigots. Movies like Borat set out to prove that Republican America was intolerant and xenophobic (although the movie actually showed quite the opposite for the majority of its run time). Comedians, late night talk shows, movies, music - nearly all of it set up this stereotype of rural republicans as backwater-uneducated hicks. Christians are squares, Catholics are child molesters. Hunters murder sweet, innocent animals out of blood lust, Farmers fuck their own livestock before mercilessly slaughtering them in the least compassionate ways.

It was an agenda, of course, to undermine the public's understanding and perception of the American Right.

And it worked. It was a hostile takeover.

From the Left's perspective, it was a necessary tactic to take control of the country again and release us all from the chains of social inequality.

From the Right's perspective, their very way of life was being brought to an end by a group of people who have fallen prey to stereotypes and propaganda.

While you can find representatives of those stereotypes, they don't represent the majority.

So then, anyone finding themselves aligned with basic Conservative or Republican principles now finds themselves ostracized and alienated.

From the right's perspective, it's no longer OK to have an opinion that criticizes someone's lifestyle - unless you're a Leftist criticizing the Right. It's no longer OK to be religious, unless it's a religion other than Christianity or Catholicism. Nearly every facet of your way of life is being regulated out of existence, sometimes for arbitrary reasons, sometimes not.

That's scary to those people. Understandably so. That's an infringement on your right to...

So, he admits it was a "Hostile Take Over", but feel that even though it hurt many Middle Class Americans, the Wondrous ends justify the means.

He also admits the Take Over was based on Propaganda and falsehoods perpetrated by the MSM.

He also admits that the Leftie agenda is not supported by a Majority of Americans.

He proposes that the Trump Popularity Phenomenon is largely due to backlash against these facts.

He states that the Lefties must create ways of preventing the backlash from ever being acted upon and resulting in an American populist Trumpesque President in the future.

Maybe most telling, he states that it is likely that the Lefties will now need to endure 8 years of Trump.

Do you agree with any of his points?

The mushy middle got tired of the hyperbole especially as BO demonstrated the FDR program still didn't work and the lies so b l atant.
Someone listening and who can't be bought was a breath of fresh air.
 
This is ridiculous. The right has been dominating America for 40 years. This was merely an attempt to slow down the rate of relentless conservative destruction and rape of society.
 
The righties began their own alienation in 1992 when they rejected George HW Bush for re-election and began their incessant attacks on anything "left". They made this bed for the unRepublican Donald. Let them live with it. !!!GO TRUMP GO!!!

Yes, because the right instigated positive discrimination, abortion, political correctness, the race and diversity industries, the almost total takeover of the media by left wing comedians and the rise of feminazis!!

No - the lack of any serious 'left' for decades, surely?
