Tell the Trump voters that you know, what they have done. Ignore their verbal attacks on you, it's just propaganda, lies. Do not fear the Trump voters. We have the truth are on our side.
It is time all of us tell the Trump voters we know, we have had enough of their bullshit.
I can honestly say I have from day one told the Trump voters I know what I think of them. I have never stopped. For three years I have been wearing anti Trump T-shirts where ever I go. I have a large collection of anti-Trump T-shirts. My family has been concerned for my safety the past three years, because I have been so out spoken. I have never once been afraid. I will never be afraid of a Trump voter.
Recently we have seen examples of some Trump voters turning against Trump. That my friends is called an opportunity. Call your Trump voter friends , family members and tell them what they have done. Tell them the truth. Do not ignore them. Do not fear them, shame them.

I live in a red county, but just recently realized that an older man who walks by my house every evening has an Obama sticker on his car. I had assumed he was a trumper, obviously I assumed wrong.

(4,379 posts)We have let these assholes bring our country to this moment in history. Ignoring them has not worked. Telling them the truth about what they have done can no longer be denied.
Imho, they were already enemies based on their actions, votes and words so I'm not making anything.

(18,486 posts)If they come around on their own, fine. But we need to stop kissing their asses in hopes that they will. It's a waste of time and, more important, an outright insult to the loyal Democrats who see these people and their leader as a real and present danger to us.

(18,486 posts)make them feel guilty or, God forbid, let them know we think they're ignorant racists because that might mean we may be able to convince them to vote for a Democrat.

(16,616 posts)This is what the FBI behaviorists attempt to do with a cult; for example, trying to peel Branch Davidians away from David Koresh.
Howard Stern actually tried this when he pointed out to Trump supporters in his audience that Trump despised people like them, and that if they went to Mar-A-Lago they wouldn't see a single person who actually looked like them.
Shaming feels gratifying in the moment but we really want to find techniques that actually work and end up as votes for Biden, not drive Trump supporters deeper into Trumpland. They are already so invested that it's going to be humiliating for them to admit they've been wrong all along. So if we can allow them to save face we'll have better luck.

(13,091 posts)It is a cult.
They support their cult leader 100%.
I know.
My family members are part of his cult.
There is no talking to them.
They don't want to know the truth.
They don't care about the truth.
They are brainwashed.
