If you continue to support Trump I will believe that you are just like him in deed and action. I would never trust you to do fair business nor to demonstrate empathy to your fellow man. I will not seek you out for your opinion nor go out of my way to engage in conversation with you. You will be considered pariah and not worthy company. Trump is clearly exposed as the person he is and if you support and emulate him after this, I will consider you of a like mind. Also consider he has declared me an enemy and vermin and I will treat his ardent supporters as having that same view and act accordingly

2. It would be better to help them reintegrate into society

They've been stuck in a cult. We could reduce some of the polarization in society by welcoming them out of that cult. When they're ready.

7. Agree. Like the Truth and Reconciliation trials in S Africa. n/t

3. Excellent. trump supporters are just not worth the time.

4. Not sure they would understand a thing, too many words that have more than 2 syllables.

5. Indeed

6. Roger that. As soon as I saw how he was treating COVID, those that still supported him have no redeeming

qualities. If they call themselves Christian, double that.

8. Nope

Nope. I do know some Trump supporters who are real assholes. Mean, angry, racist misogynists. But, I also know Trump supporters who are good folks (except for Trump support). I know them mostly as teacher peers. They are indoctrinated, yes, and unable to accept any information that contradicts their fictional version of what Trump is and what he stands for, but, outside of the political milieu, they donate to the poor, make sure that the neighborhood children are fed, and, despite their cult leader's teachings, advocate for fair treatment of immigrants and women.

They can't see the contradictions. It's a cult. At least with the one's I know, it's not something that we can counter with logic or threats of disassociation.

9. When someone starts w rw talking points, I simply say it's not true.

If it's the border crap, nothing new there. Not a huge new problem. Prices? Biden doesn't raise them. He lowers costs when he can. The real problem is huge tax cuts to multi-national corps that the gop always gives. Shuts them up.

10. I don't associate with them

Anyone who supports racism, misogyny, and sexual depravity is not a person I would associate with in my life. I don't need that garbage in my life.
