Or at least tend to ore often vote for democrats. What would be more effective than courting a hate group ideology, is to court women, minority and the LGBT communities.
The fastest growing minority is Latino's who tend toward conservatism. Reaching out to that base with a solid for immigration reform would help, especially with future generations. Listening and acting on the grievances of Black people would help, including modified affirmative action programs-- especially for collage for youth, as well as recognizing and at least suggesting plans to change the institutional racism that exists. etc.
It would be hard to court conservative White men, from my observation. The right callously uses women's lives for politically points, stokes the racist fears of white men of losing the benefits of being White-- as well we should---so while the MRA talking points are found everywhere, the right the left, here, I can't see how using then would benefit politically.
Unless they were carefully hidden, or cautiously coached. Our silly rabbits who try to pretend they are not MRA's never have the guts to admit to it, but they also never make any damn sense.
How would you go about making part of your political base the enemy? Evo-psych is a wash out, the right has co-opted destroying reproductive rights and the American People don't easily forgive infidelity or examples of treated women like shit.
