Vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, Brent Baker, explained the reaction from the Left, pointing out their bewilderment at why non-political individuals are drawn to Trump and other Republicans. Baker noted that Charlamagne’s amazement led him to attribute the phenomenon to Republicans being better communicators and deceivers, rather than acknowledging that their policy views resonate with many Americans.
Overall, this article rewrite highlights the disbelief expressed by some individuals on the Left at the public’s connection with Trump’s communication style and the underlying policies of the Republican Party. It emphasizes that the surprise is rooted in the effectiveness of conservative messaging, rather than in the substance of their ideas and proposals.
