It's not the time for it given Trump, but I've been thinking and going forward the democratic message should be something along the lines of "Together, we are invincible". Studies have shown that right wing political leaning is linked to the strength of fear and disgust reactions. People who picture themselves as physically invulnerable before a survey lean further left than normal for that survey, regardless of their initial leanings, than people who don't. If you want to convert people leftward you need to try to make them feel safe, regardless of any other factors. I think the Trump administration has shown that pointing to how bad things are, pointing to how disgusting things are, does not fire up the left and the right see it as an attack and retreat further rightward.
