    It’s a funny thing to ask Trump supporters what would sway their mind.

    The answer is usually “nothing.” And that’s all you need to know about a person like that.

      “oh yeah what would make you flip on Biden?”

      I already don’t like Biden, he’s already the lesser of two evils.

      Literally anything. Literally the guy from Idiocracy. A plank of wood. A used Kleenex. Poop on a stick. Anything but this stupid spiral we’re stuck in.

        I had 3 preferred candidates over Biden. But alas, logic prevails in recognizing the other side is actively smashing the delicate puzzle which is very easy to do. Biden may not move us forward, but at least he won’t destroy it.

        But to these people they think our lack of conviction with Biden and their obsession with Trump is a sign he’s better. Idk…

          I’m reminded of the Pussies, Dicks, and Assholes monologue from Team America:

          Qult45 are fucking Assholes, Chuck!

      I always thought the line would be pedophilia but I’m not even sure that would be enough these days, as disgusting as that sounds.

        They immediately looked the other way when Trump lied about his association and partying with Epstein. Literally whispering into his ear as they’re obviously eyeing up some women.

      One needs to break into their Q feedback loops and disrupt the narrative but even then they still wouldn’t believe it at first unless they were given something else to replace the beliefs with. The reality rabbit hole is really deep.

      They are accepting of moving onto to new crazy things that substitutes for leaving behind some of the things that don’t make sense to anyone anymore.

        The only thing I can think of is redirect their anger:

        1. The pressures you feel are real.

        2. You’re just being duped on what the sources are.

        The problem is that deprogramming requires a lot of individual, heartfelt time that only certain relationships at the family level can reach… Sometimes.

        Piercing the echo-chamber is otherwise nearly impossible.

        My family flipped over the Bush years. But the circumstances were a bit different.
