Timely, yet, we're still at a little bit of truth helps as a reach out program. unless they're in the butt end of Trump's policies. I try to help but lots of folks have given up on any sort of convo with maga. It's hard, not to want to virtually squeeze their necks until their eyes pop out.

Talking one on one rarely helps. Right Wing media tells them 1000 lies for every truth you say to them. Mass media is the way. upine.medium.com/time-to-solv...

I told the avocado guy in a rural town of 8k up in MI we moved from CA. He was aghast. I said it's not like they say in the media. It's beautiful, the mountains, ocean & rivers & the people, plus we grow more than half the food you're selling in this store. That's 1, who will go tell a new story.

Good for you. It does sometimes work, but rarely. I admire anyone who has the patience to try it. There are some MAGAs who are open to new info. But the majority seem not to be open.

Have you tried telling Trump supporters that? If so, what do they say? I find very few of them are open to truth, though some are.
