We've already been through this. It's so very tiring. I'm over it. If you're a trump supporter, then fuck you. That's all. Goodbye.
I get how you feel, and I desperately want to feel the same way. But we aren't going to win people over back to the rational side with this attitude. It just feeds into the tribalism and makes the problem worse.
We need to empathize with the other side, which means start by listening to their concerns, and then the moment they feel listened too, we have to completely repudiate the awful stances they believe in, shut down their flawed logic and force them to face facts and reality: one human being to another.
This is brain washing remedy 101. Did we all forget the painfull lessons we learned through the first Trump Presidency? I feel like we have all collectively forgotten that period in time.
They don't think rationally, is the problem.
