To those well-intentioned folks who are still pondering how to "convert" Trump voters; I ask:

How much time do you think Trump supporters spend trying to think of ways to "convert" those of us who, LIKE MOST PEOPLE, voted for Hillary?

I've admired you progressiveness as expressed in your posts.

On this subject, as others, you're solidly supported. Fuck 'em.

7. A big part of the problem is that there are still many people, from across the political spectrum...

...who suggest that economic anxiety (or Dems refusing to ignore racial injustice, sexism, climate change, etc.) is the reason Republicans win elections. The implication is that persons of color, who vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, must not experience economic anxiety. While some may mean well, it's difficult to fathom that level of ignorance.

No Democratic presidential candidate has won the white male vote since 1964, and a plurality of white women voted for Trump. If anyone thinks that's because of economic anxiety, I have a bridge to sell.
