I wanna start this thread by sharing which talking points or discussions have you found useful when talking to trump supporters (if you know any). I have some on my facebook. And, as you all know, they do not respond to facts. We are not talking about perharps 30M lunatics but the other 30M that hopefully are not hooked on breitbart.

I beleive I found a breakthrough today. My response had at least a couple of them start engaging and researching a bit. It's a big start!

Here is what I said. Please DO NOT copy and paste if you wanna use something among those lines:

"unfortunately, it is near useless to engage with trump supporters because they don't respond to facts. They still do not understand how Duginist Putin's machine has been trying to undermine democracy in Europe and the US by supporting far-right parties. They do not understand how 'liberalism' threatens his authoritarian regime and that breaking down EU, UN and US is essential for Russia to regain power. They do not understand that islamophobia is intentionally being used to bring down liberal democracies across the globe. They do not understand who is Bannon and what he is trying to achieve and that Trump is merely a puppet towards a new global order which will benefit ONLY Russia. They do no understand how Citizens United ruling allowed foreign adversarial power to pump enormous amount of dark money into the US with the goal to destabilize our government; they do not understand that Trump is provoking a major conflict which will lead to a war; they do not understand why Trump wants to remove all sanctions on Russia, etc."
