CMV: Now that democrats have won, it's time to acknowledge democrats need to change and that Republicans aren't stupid.

Donald Trump is quite possibly the most ridiculous candidate to have ever run for the presidency, but not only did he win once, he nearly won twice! What is it about the democrats platform and relatability that such a massive piece of shit felt preferable to them for over 70 million people in the United States? The democrats across the board need to revaluate whether their platform/actions are as good as they generally tend to believe they are. Reddit likes to shit on centrism, but when you're only slightly more electable than a flaming turd like trump to 70+ million people, you gotta reflect and say "How the fuck was this even an option?!?!? What the fuck am I doing wrong here?!?!?
The second half of this CMV is that a part of this change, I think, needs to be acknowledging that Republicans are far from dumb, they have successfully taken control of this country at every turn, they've taken legislatures across the nation, all levels of federal court, have a 6:3 majority in the SC while damn near controlling house and senate, all of this directly after having George W Bush as their last president. All I hear is that Republicans are idiots, Republicans are stupid, Republicans are incompetent, but what does it say when you can only barely compete with them? And come up losing most of the time?

You are making a premise here, that people voted for Trump, despite not liking him, as opposed to liking him.

Some Trump voters, perhaps including you, feel this way.  But many enthusiastically supported him.

President Trump won the Republican primary, in a very crowded field.  He represented what many, perhaps most, Republicans wanted.

You may feel that President Trump was a piece of shit, but your views are not representative of most of the people who voted for President Trump.
