> Name calling typically results in people viewing you as immature.

If this was true, Trump wouldn’t be president. Either that, or America doesn’t see an issue with immaturity.

This is going to sound partisan, but I genuinely think it’s because Trump connects with people on more levels than the Democrats do.

The name calling is part of his blustery comedic Hollywood side, which people understand is different to his policy making side. Watch the all-in podcast episode with him if you genuinely want to see a different side to him.

In contrast, Democrats often come across as only having a singular serious facet to their personality, and so immaturity undermines their entire character.

I have the same perspective. On top of it, society has gotten use to seeing reality TV shows. DC looks like a reality TV show for ugly people to them. It's not even done well.

Whatever different side you are seeing is the act, the name calling is part of his normal behavior. I don't want to say too much, but I have a family member who had to deal with Trump briefly in the 00s. From the things I heard back then, I know for sure that he tries to bully people to get what he wants and will end up shouting threats if things don't go his way.

Right!!

It goes from "its the lefts fault, and maybe you shouldnt call people Nazi."

To "It works for Trump!"

to "trump connects to people. the left doesnt"

Lol. This is like when you are in an abusive relationship, and you are always wrong, and theres no real way to explain why you are always wrong - until you accept that one side is meant to be the loser in an abusive realtion.
