[FRIAM] tactics and strategy - from vFRIAM 6/12 - attention glen

[Marcus Daniels]

Trump made a direct appeal to racists and other people of backward sensibilities in this country and it worked.   The challenge is not to pacify them, play politics with them, or find a way to forgive them.  The challenge is to make it abundantly clear what they are about and isolate them.   This may mean deepening the divisions and burning some bridges along the way.

Clear enough?

That sounds like irony (doh).  What are you actually saying, Marcus?

context:

near the end of vFRIAM, SteveG argued that Science's denigration and dismissal of God and religious sensibilities in general was both arrogant (on the part of Science) and divisive / counter-productive. In an attempt to steelman SteveG's position I generalized the argument and made the assertion that this element of the Liberal Democratic strategy to defeat Trump was not only counter-productive, but extremely stupid. I also expanded the scope of SteveG's argument away from simply religion but to all the views that might be held by those in Hillary's "basket of deplorables."

glen wishes to 'discuss' my assertion.

How to proceed? from the general to eventual specifics/particulars? who goes first?
