In response to a recent post: "try to reach trump supporters without belittling them"
You cannot REACH them. I live in Texas with neighbors that are good decent people, and trump supporters. They have VERY LIMITED COGNITIVE REASONING SKILLS.
example:
Trumper: Biden left millions of military equipment to the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Me: Biden didn't HAVE millions of military equipment to leave the Taliban. The Afghan military did. Did you expect Biden to disarm the Afghan military ? Trumper: You watch too much CNN and MSNBC
You can't FIX stupid
Unfortunately, it is a waste of time and effort. They will not learn until it is too late and they are about to be shot.
I used to call my union rep & complain about the latest supervisor infraction. His wise comment to me was "Do you argue with the mentally ill man talking to himself on the street?" This is how I approach any of the Magatites. Avoidance is my defense. One cannot reason with those that are under the spell of a charlatan or a grifter by nature.
Most of them are not that bright, that is why they are easily fooled by con men like Trump. He fleeced his followers for millions of dollars that were supposed to go to building the wall on the south border of the US and for his election defense fund. Both of those were just scams to line his own pockets with money from his followers. Some of his supporters are smart people, who are simply greedy and don't want to pay taxes, but most of his followers are simply dumb and gullible, who don't think critically, are poorly informed, because all they watch is Fox News. They are the ones wearing red MAGA hats, not the smarter followers of his. I don't bother trying to argue with them.
