“Did you vote for the insane guy? And if you did, why? Never mind, there are no logical reasons. Goodbye.”
The main reasons I have heard is, “He talks like I can understand. And he will lower prices!” In other words, these people are the gullible, low-information, poorly educated (mostly White) fools that stand in front of a very accomplished, highly-skilled snake-oil salesman, and believes. No further investigation needed; he said it, I believe it.
Our country is about to become Hungary, AND hungry.
The wild thing is that he openly shows his disdain. His tech bro row at the inauguration was basically a middle finger to these "losers" (his implied words, not mine).
I often feel like we’re preaching to the choir. How do we reach the people that voted for this nightmare? How do we stop it? All the Trump voters I know are even more in love with him now. I often feel like I’m living in some alternate reality - one where facts are believed and propaganda is recognized for what it is. Whereas, the prevailing reality of Fox News, NewsNation, and MSM is the one running the country. How do we fix this? How do we rally the Democrats in Congress? How do we get the Trumpers to go towards the light of truth and integrity? I’m so tired and discouraged.
Side note: I hope you’re recovering from your illness!
Those questions are the ones we need to be asking. The reality is that so many voters are just not informed. They're gonna get hit by all this stuff he's doing and ask, "what happened?" So with the mass media basically in the right wing's hands, we need to figure out how to get the message out to remind them of who is causing their misery.
Thanks for the side note. I'm recovering (I think). I have a lot of tests, including an MRI, coming up during the next couple weeks, and hopefully the doctors will confirm. :-)

Speak not of the evil ones. Don't give any air.
Speak only of positive efforts to promote health and safety.
You are so right Charles! All the talking, reading, writing and subscribing have gotten us nowhere. I don’t have the answers, but this is not working.
Thanks. And I didn't mean to imply we should not be doing these things. It's just somehow getting the emphasis way from Trump somehow.
