This isn't for Trump supporters, though. It's for Democrats. If you think that the goal is to win over Trump voters, then you've already lost. Mocking and demoralizing your opponents is one of the tools from the Trump tool kit, and it's one that most Democrats are too nice to use.

Calling the schoolyard bully a dick is a small step, but at least it's in the right direction.

You can mock them, but it won't demoralize them, certainly not with this specific insult. They celebrate being dickish. What Democrats don't already know that Trump and his cronies are dicks and bullies? How does it benefit Democrats? It's not like they haven't tried insults before. Weird, rapist, Mango Mussolini (and all other variations riffing on Trump's orangeness), couch fucker, etc. were all thrown around plentifully.
