I posted some comments on a site the other day that were critical of President Trump. The response was utterly predictable. Something along the lines of "Boy, Trump gets under your skin, that's what he was elected to do. MAGA! Hah ha" etc.
This got me to thinking. Yea, there were many reasons why Trump was elected in 2016.
However, one consistent theme was evident, and it was anger.
Trump was elected because he promised to stick his finger in the eyes of people that the Trumpers hate. Environmentalists with their pesky regulations, Gay people, liberals, intellectuals, brown people, black people, etc.

Trump said outrageous things. And whether those things were factually correct was not important. It was only important that what he said angered the folks they hate.

Fast forward to 2020. Is anger again the fuel that will power the ship? Should democrats just try to out-do Trump in that area?
I don't think so. Both Biden, and Mayor Pete are instead using the language of unity, and hope. And they are dominating the polls at this point.

People crave an optimistic message. And, they may be getting tired of the s-show that is Trump, talk radio, and Fox. 
They might just be getting exhausted with the insults, the tweet storms, the crudeness.
Trump is exhausting. That may be his undoing.
