I’ve seen that video before. It’s a good one that, to me from far away, shows how the more progressive side of the democratic party should very much resonate with poorer, currently republican voters if they just leaned into that messaging more.
The message at it’s core is so simple: The country is rich, you’re poor, fuck that shit.
Unfortunately, speaking with conservatives is an exercise in polite futility.
I could get an American conservative to agree with Marx, and lay out an entire world map with functioning historical socialist states to their approval, and inside of a day they would be back to ‘Socialism doesn’t work and it’s bad’
US conservatives are not interested in policies or principles. It is pure tribalism to them
