I've been telling some of my leftwing British friends who have enjoyed condemning those who favor rightwing parties that their task is not just to criticize, but to understand and to appeal. There's reasons why people have voted "the wrong way," and the concerns of these citizens have been largely ignored.
The Democrats in America are going down the same path, with Obama repeatedly over the past 7+ years telling people that their concerns about big government are completely irrelevant and "stale." Condemning people for their religious views. Telling millions of citizens that they would agree with him if they were just smarter or more honest.
Of course, the Republicans do this too, ignoring concerns over law enforcement abuses, corporate abuses, drug policy, equality, and so on. Even if those concerns are unfounded, they are real concerns. This is why, for example, Republicans have been (except for Arnold) shut out in California for a few decades.
Turn a deaf ear, and people will reject you.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
