(35,127 posts)I don't like to use broad brushes but in my opinion, it's true that they are entrepreneurial and narcissistic. It is really hard to change their minds and they're easily influenced by whatever they see on social media. They are kind of conservative with regard to economics. They're gun owners but not against reform.
I spent two weeks on vacation with my sister recently and she said some alarming things. She's not into politics. After the latest indictment, she said that Democrats were unfairly picking on trump. I asked, why? Because trump says so? She just laughed. I think she likes the drama that he brings and because she's apolitical, she doesn't understand that it's not a game. I told her it's not only about trump individually, the people he rolls with are dangerous: MTG and other white supremacists. A vote for trump is a vote for them too. They could turn back the clock on us in a heartbeat. They've already turned the clock back on women. She doesn't want to have any more kids, but I keep telling her that she will be forced to, thanks to trump. Magats are attacking trans and gay people. My nephew (her son) is a gay teen.
Meanwhile, my brother said he was done with Democrats about a year or so ago. He blames Democrats for the change in reporting income on zelle, cashapp, etc. I've given him some space to process and calm down but I'll be pressuring him more and more as the elections come nearer. I think I'm going to make some posters to better illustrate my points - a chart which shows what a vote for each candidate would also be a vote for.
