12. "You've been duped"

Maybe I LIKE being duped! Ever think of that?

We need a different message for folks like Mr. Del Signore, one that points out the yawning chasm between what he thinks is true and what is actually true. Remind him of the promises that were made to him, and how those promises have been broken. Leave him with open-ended questions to ponder: Have the steel mills re-opened like Trump promised? Republicans are in total control of the government, so why do you think they haven't delivered on that promise?

If nothing else, you'll piss him off that he's still not doing any better even with his hero in the White House.
