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.

Do you understand how many times we’ve tried this already? They are perfectly fine with hypocrisy, lies, and projection.

I’m not saying we need to destroy them or anything, but this shit has gone too far. We need to try way harder to fight back against their hateful, regressive bullshit at this point.

No, the people that voted for Trump in this election will never vote for a non republican candidate regardless of how much you try to appease them. IMO you’re more likely to lose even more voters than you stand to gain taking this approach. The democrats need to come up with a vision and candidate that is neither Harris, Biden, and certainly not anything close to Trump. They need someone that will make non-voters believe that there’s a good chance their life will improve enough to make voting worthwhile.
