I think the left will keep losing until they stop complaining about us getting rid of murderers and drug dealers

I think they will be learning their lesson over the next year or two and pivot though, which will prove a challenge to a right wing that essentially has no unified ideological vision for the future

The key is that the American left needs to talk not about opposing getting rid of murderers and drug dealers but about the processes by which we do that fairly and legally.

And they have to talk about it in a coherent, accessible, and most importantly, accurate way.

The crowd rose in an environment where the left stopped addressing them and explaining the real answers to their concerns, instead dismissing them out of hand... and giving those votes and minds over to the likes of .

The left has so much of civics on their side, but they continue to ignore that opportunity, allowing the right to march forward in ignorance.

No they don't. Americans don't care about the legal process of dealing with rapists. If that want to be pedantic about processes, maybe focus on things that Americans don't support so overwhelmingly.

@volkris But beyond that, have a vision for the country that isn't " #Trump bad" and instead focuses on what they actually want to do to make the #USA a better place.

@realcaseyrollins

Firstly, to emphasize it, we can show Americans that the legal process can support the cause of dealing with rapists.

But back to my response:
In a way that's my point.

Americans don't care... even though caring would get them closer to their goals. The point is to communicate to Americans why they should care.

The failure of the left goes hand in hand with Americans not caring about legal process. That needs to change, and it can change, if only the left would bother.
