7. This is a fundamental truth we dare not ignore.

Some poor Trump voter that lost their job, their house, their health, their spouse or their child due to policies implemented by Trump, the Republican Congress and affirmed by the Republican Supreme Court would never for one second hesitate to vote for them again in the next election.

They may sit an election out, but they will never EVER vote for a Democrat UNLESS they get to meet their Democratic candidate in person and are won over that way (Rob Sand in Iowa, e.g.). It’s expensive and time-consuming, but in a land where Fox “News” is so widely used as the sole source of news, these people will vote for cyanide additives in their baby formula before they’d ever vote a Democrat. GOTV and strong (including armed) protection of our voting rights are our only paths to victory.
