I agree that doubling down on rage may not be the best way to build opposition to Trump. That said, my impression from preliminary election data is that Harris handily won with those voters who were fairly knowledgeable about current events and lost those voters who were not. If that is indeed correct, then at least some Trump voters may be surprised at what he ends up doing.
The best angle that I've heard is for pro-democracy leaders to point out when Trump betrays his promises to voters when it comes to the most tangible stuff such as lowering costs. We need to do a better job of articulating why broad-based tariffs and massive deportation will cost them money. And if Trump proceeds to cut popular programs while giving rich people a tax cut, we should make a big deal about that.
