    Opinion | Why Is There Still No Strategy to Defeat Donald Trump?

    A Democratic candidate who steps outside the culture/identity war narrative is going to have access to the voters who need to be moved. Public voices who don’t seem locked in the insular educated elite worldview are going to be able to reach the people who need to be reached.

    Trumpists tell themselves that America is being threatened by a radical left putsch that is out to take over the government and undermine the culture. The core challenge now is to show by word and deed that this is a gross exaggeration.

    Weird. Because putting aside that, yeah, it is enough to just denounce Trump (and the "discrediting" part is self evident). ...

    I am not sure what weirdly framed world David Brooks is living in. Donald Trump lost in 2020. He was a one-term president, which is really difficult to do unless you are a total flop. He was impeached twice. His party lost control of Congress in 2018. A bunch of his hand-picked candidates for the Senate are doing really poorly -- in an inflation-riddled economy that should have them coasting. Vote projections are actually giving Democrats a chance, when a year ago it was a foregone conclusion that the mid-term elections would be a flip, the way they always are. I have no idea if Democrats have a strategy to defeat Donald Trump. But it seems to me that Donald Trump's strategy has done a good job of defeating himself for them.

    Putsch.

    "Was that supposed to be funny? That wordplay that you just did there, was that meant to be funny?"

    Putz.

    "How's that for clever with words?"

    How do you suggest we prove that White children aren’t being taught to hate white people with CRT, and that the FBI isn’t the a secret army of liberals?

    Many of the year-round residents on the Vineyard aren't wealthy. They're struggling to get by. The summer Obama/Clinton set is a different crowd. It's after Labor Day, so they're all gone. DeSantis probably thought this would be the perfect time to send in the non-white poors, and that it'd set off some intraclass warfare. Instead people on the island have shown tremendous grace.
