I think I actually got through to a Trump supporter

I don't know if it will stick or not, but I got one to at least acknowledge the glaring differences between Barr's summary and the actual Mueller report.

The Mueller report is a good thing to use on Trump supporters because they have been preconditioned to think it totally exonerates Trump. If you show them how it actually does not exonerate, they just might start to feel a little foolish. This of course won't work on everyone, but I think it could actually open a few eyes. It worked at least to get a reasonable discussion out someone I know.

Try this on family and friends.

who post in my local paper believe that Hillary paid Mueller to make up all sorts of inflammatory garbage about The Dumpster, so they dismiss it out of hand as all lies.

I know a guy that thinks god chose Trump to be president so he could clean out all the pedophiles in the deep state.

stating Trump is now exonerated because Barr said so. I HATE that man with a passion.
