That's why I endorse "idiot racist fuckheads" as my term of choice; they're less likely to self-identify as such at their rallies.

I regret that I have had countless discussions with current (and, at the time, future) Trump supporters over the years, and I have only ever seen a handful truly change their attitude--and in those cases it was due to some world-shattering personal experience, rather than by reasoned discussion. As for the few who now claim to regret their votes, I'm strongly confident that the great majority will still vote Republican in 2018 and 2020.

To that end, I will accept that "idiot racist fuckhead" is an unfairly permanent label when they give me reason to hope that it isn't permanently applicable.
