Trump to America: "Giraffes Are Jerks!"

#Reuben Bolling gets it.

With the exception of a few Independents like Bernie Sanders, the political Left* in the USA uses mainstream rhetoric that harms their own causes and fights on battle grounds of the the Right’s** choosing. Trump takes full advantage of those weaknesses to promote his own brand.

* Nominally Left, really just center-right authoritarians.
** Nominally Right, really just pseudo-libertarian plutocrats.

Nice summary!

I find the fact that everybody in the US uses Republican terminology so disheartening.

Use their words and discuss their topics = accept their framing of the issue
