James Carville
Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville stated on a podcast that the core goal of the Democratic base is to "humiliate that son of a bitch at every point" and watch Donald Trump "wither in anguish and misery and pain".

Facebook Post from 6 Years Ago
Many of us see the socialist left as the end of the United States as founded. We see it as the end of any kind of protection of our rights as free individuals. There will be no limited government, as the government will be all-powerful to do anything it wants to us. (The clear limitations on Federal power in the Constitution have long since been ignored.) Add to this, if Joe Biden does everything he promised, which I doubt, it will lead us to financial ruin.
For these reasons, many of us looked to Donald Trump as a kind of savior figure to resist the possibly inevitable tide of ever excessive government. There is a reason why Trump supporters are so dedicated to this man.

Russell Brand is sentenced to 10 years and six month for rape and sexual assault
I didn't know that Russell Brand was a comedian because I had only seen him as a political commentator on YouTube. He started out on the left politically, but he eventually seemed to move more toward the middle, often talking with conservative guests.
Lawyers descend on Mississippi as vote counting continues in razor-thin Senate race
Democrat Scott Colom is on the verge of winning a Senate seat in Mississippi in a stunning upset, but ballots are still being counted in a close race where Colom holds a lead of just under 2,000 votes over Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith. Losing ruby-red Mississippi would be the final straw for Republicans after a midterm sweep by Democrats that turned Texas blue and saw a Democrat elected to the seat once held by the late South Carolina Republican senator Lindsey Graham.

Sean Astin Delivers A POWERFUL Speech At House Hearing
It is a different matter for cartoons or parodies that are distorted in some way to make it clear to the viewer that they are not real.
My Take on the Election
Both parties have loyalists who are most likely to vote for their side no matter what. However, there are a great many people in the middle who may be sitting on the fence and can be persuaded one way or the other. I just heard the claim on the radio that there are a large number of "swing voters." However, this feels like an oversimplification.
In recent years, the Republicans have ridden the coattails of Donald Trump. Consequently, if he is not popular, then they are not going to be popular either. This election was most definitely a referendum on Donald Trump.
In the aftermath of the election, the pundits keep focusing on specific issues, as if any one issue or combination of issues could have decided the election. Maybe this is giving the electorate too much credit. For example, the economy is doing well, but the public perception is that it is doing poorly. Much of this is a carryover from the massive inflation we experienced under the Biden administration, which has made affordability the most talked-about issue. The political left and the media have propagandized the notion that the economy is not doing well, primarily because of affordability.
People's attitudes toward Trump tend to be emotional and very personal. They either love him or hate him. We know that the political left hates Trump, mainly because they lost to him in a couple of elections. Consequently, they have gone to extremes to portray Trump as evil and have even compared him to a dictator like Hitler. This "Trump is Evil" propaganda resonated with enough people to persuade them to vote for the left. People literally hate the President. They react to him on an emotional level, and the issues are secondary.
Trump's two victories were mostly a backlash against the bad policies of the political left. He was successful because he convinced average Americans that he was on their side. He focused on issues that were popular, such as illegal immigration, which was probably the issue that won him the elections.
The illegal immigration issue has been mostly solved, so people have largely forgotten about it and begun focusing on other things.
However, Trump did things that weren't necessarily popular, such as imposing tariffs and getting involved in the Iran War. He has also been enthusiastic about data centers and friendly with tech billionaires. Consequently, people became less sure that Trump was really on their side. He has lost some of his appeal to the average person, particularly among minorities.
Trump's deportation policy, carried out by ICE, created disturbing images on the news that contributed to the perception that Trump is evil. He lost the Hispanic support he had gained.
To win elections, politicians need to build a coalition of support that includes many different groups of people, including minorities. Whatever minority support Trump had has shifted back to the left. Without at least some minority support, neither side can win elections.
The Democrats didn't necessarily have to persuade voters that their own policies were better. They just had to convince enough people that Trump and the Republicans weren't delivering for them.
