And he&#8217;s even losing support from groups that he once regarded as reliable, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=45595\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">such as evangelical voters<\/a><\/strong>. His own Republican party members are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=45449\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">increasingly repulsed<\/a><\/strong> by his angry and childish outbursts. And now he&#8217;s worried about a demographic group from which he had support in 2016: Suburban women. Trump tweeted this plaintive yearning on Friday morning:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cDo you think Suburban Women want to Defund the Police? I don\u2019t think so.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marcthiessen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@marcthiessen<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1271429352933208072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 12, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of wrong in that brief query. First of all, Trump is exacerbating the racist overtones of his candidacy (and his life) by overtly addressing a segment of the electorate that he believes is sympathetic toward him: white women. He&#8217;s blatantly fear mongering in order to scare people into voting for him. Secondly, Trump is clinging to the racial anxieties of white voters generally by referring to <em>&#8220;defunding the police&#8221;<\/em> without putting that phrase into context. Every Democrat in public life has affirmed their support for reforming police departments &#8211; not abolishing them &#8211; in a way that refocuses their duties and their budgets on crime and safety, leaving other more personal matters to the social workers, drug counselors, and mental health professionals who are better prepared to handle them.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Trump is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ForecasterEnten\/status\/1271452226742034433\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ignoring the reality<\/a><\/strong> that the suburban women he relied on four years ago have long since left his camp. A recent poll by CNN found that among these voters Joe Biden is crushing Trump 63 to 34%. And for those who aren&#8217;t convinced that CNN&#8217;s pollsters are fair, the results were nearly identical in a Fox News poll, giving Biden a 57% edge over Trump&#8217;s 29%. In both polls Biden has a nearly 30 point advantage.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult to see how Trump can overcome this deficit of support. Particularly when he is bleeding support from so many other critical voter groups. So he&#8217;s resorting to the sort of filthy campaign tactics that are familiar components of his diseased persona.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is pretending to be the tough guy (while <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=45569\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">cowering in his bunker<\/a><\/strong>) by deploying the military against peaceful American citizens engaged in constitutionally protected demonstrations. He&#8217;s slandering Biden and other Democrats with infantile insults. He&#8217;s advancing bizarre conspiracy theories from the Internet&#8217;s most abhorrent cretins occupying its outer fringes. And this is how Trump thinks he&#8217;s going to appeal to a broad swath of the electorate in order to prevail in November? Yeah, right!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The prospects for Donald Trump&#8217;s reelection continue to sink into an abyss of his hostility, division, and lies.
