Quotes from Trumpians.
Many Trump supporters have paid a high price for their vote choice in their own families. One
white working class man shared that he lost contact with [his] own daughter because of the
election. Others complain that their children and millennial friends challenge their views and
suggest the media manipulates them.
A lot of the young kids I call them young, they're in their 20s, you know, late 20s I
see them as Democrats, they don't support the President on [bringing change], so they're
latching on to everything in the fake news, about what he's done, what he's said, you
know? What he's ruined, you know? What Obama did that was great, you know? (White
working class older woman, Macomb)
The middle class will get more money. Granted, not a tremendous amount, but they will
get more, which is better than getting less. (White working class older woman, Macomb)
Alrighty then.
So they want people to respect their vote for Trump, to respect the Carnival Barker himself, to not challenge them on their views, to be able to call actual facts fake news without being called on it, while at the same time bemoan someone telling them that Fox manipulates them, as well all the proven phony stories on Facebook, etc..
Whatever.

I think that a better approach would be for us to promote our point of view better.

Truth. If they weren't upset by the way Obama was deeply disrespected... well they are full of shit.

Good tactic. Bring up their lack of respect for Obama and make them eat crow.

"...when she first started voting". I'm sure she meant when it was Reagan, Bush I, Bush II...

You cannot say you are not a racist if you fully support that racist man and his racist policies.

They will feel "disrespected" so long as "those people" are in the public eye and not apologizing
