"are you better off?" bit for starters. Arguably, there are millions who are not. Talk about food insecurity, now hospital insecurity, health insecurity. All the basic, bottom line issues that most understand. Don't talk tariffs so much. Talk about prices going up.

Tell them not to get pregnant or have a baby due to reduced services, or the danger of a pregnancy becoming lethal for Mom with no hope of help. Talk about those that died in the parking lot.

And, so on and so forth. Don't try to educate on the deeper aspects. Just tell them what they now lack and who is to blame for it. It ain't us.

One issue that always makes blood boil is to contrast the rich grift by the rump adminstration while everyone else is getting poorer. That's not too hard to understand. Do YOU have a $400 million dollar jet? No? Then why do you want to use your tax dollars to refurbish HIS new jet?

Some MAGA will never be swayed. They're hopeless. But, others will be.
