First, no it isn't.

Second, this is terrible messaging. Part of why Democrats lost so big and Trump broadened his coalition is that people aren't stupid, and they're sick and tired of the moronic finger wagging. Your message shouldn't be "You deserve this," because you need those votes. Your message should be (and also just happens to be correct): "You were lied to, but there's an election next year, and if you vote for us we'll put a stop to this."
