This question’s on my mind because my coworker today mentioned they would vote for Trump if they could (mind you this is 2023, in Canada). I don’t generally have the talking points or the desire to fight about it, so I just deflected the conversation. But I often wish I was more strong-willed and could try to figure out why someone believes what they do and, if it’s invalid, then convince them otherwise.
Thus, I’m curious what you all would say or what you’ve done in the past!
It raises major questions about their ability to reason, absorb information, their morals and level of awareness about the world. And just personality. It’s difficult for me to imagine how people listen to that guy lie and ramble while being a petty, vindictive self-absorbed prick to everyone around him, and think “Yeah! This is someone I’d put in charge”.
I came to similar questions/conclusions talking to my coworker. It’s disappointing because otherwise he’s quite friendly and normal, but I’m realising perhaps that is just because I’m not the “wrong” type of person in their eyes. If he believes Trump would save the country, what else does he believe, right? And seriously, why?
