The guy who taught Republicans to use terms like “greed,” “hypocrisy,” “sick,” and “traitors” to describe Democratic opponents in the 1990s is disappointed that those “sick traitors” are disinclined to be friends with ppl who think they’re “libtard Socialists” who hate America. 
Has Frank ever seen a Ben Shapiro video? Because boy, he sure doesn’t seem like someone who is sending out vibes that he wants to be a young Democrat’s friend.
Those young Dems are such horrible people that they want Republicans to have more affordable health care, a more sustainable environment, fewer of their kids shot in schools, fewer ppl killed by cops, & more people vaccinated against a virus that’s killed almost 800k Americans.
In other words, the majority of Republicans are right in not wanting to be friends with such anti-social monsters.
My entire adult life, Democratic politicians have been so careful to avoid a single gaffe like “deplorables” or “cling to guns and religion,” meanwhile GOP politicians just spit nasty epithets out rapid fire 24/7 and suffer no blowback for it.
Trump built the entire brand of the GOP around proudly being an asshole to large swathes of the American population. Hard to understand why that might drive some people away.
The reason for this historical asymmetry, I'd venture, is that the GOP base consists of an overabundance of thin skinned people who hysterically freak out if they think someone (esp. a person of color or a woman) has dared to criticize them.

Weird that young Mexican-Americans aren't inclined to be friends with people who voted for the guy who said Mexican immigrants were rapists and criminals and that we needed to build a wall to keep "people like them" out of the country. Just such a head scratcher.
Anyway, the party of personal responsibility that believes that "Ideas have consequences" would like you to know that their ideas have no consequences and that they bear no responsibility for the actions they've taken. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideas_Hav…
And the people who voted for the "fuck your feelings" guy are very disappointed and frankly shocked that your feelings toward them are not warm and fuzzy.
"Come on you little pinko traitors, what's the matter with you that you won't come over to our house for a night of fun and games? You need to reflect on why you're so hateful and intolerant."
