1. I think the best tactic is a calm and friendly persuasion with the TRUTH.

Opinions don’t work. They may act like they don’t listen but the truth will win out eventually.
Some old fashioned Republicans are watching and waiting to take back the GOP.
I try to remember that we need them to come around and be convinced to rebuild our Democracy.
We need stable parties to keep our country balanced.
I think that the GOP knows that a divided party (theirs) will not survive. I expect to see and hear more and more about MAGAs needing to wise up before the elections. The GOP is going to have to temper them or lose badly and this won’t happen yet. This will probably take a full election cycle of losing before they get it. Also I feel like the GOP needs a strong leader but they just voted her out!
Good for us now, I guess. Cheney will land on her feet.
Important (to them) that they feel patriotic while the truth sinks in. They are pretty thick so it’s gonna have to come from Faux News and others in the GOP. Not from us. The best we can do is support our party until these new Laws kick in. It WILL take some time.
