I had a phone call yesterday from one of my best buddies from law school. We were discussing MAGA, and the inability of those morons to see what Trump is as a person or leader, and he said that he knows so many people who have cut off contact with relatives and friends over this, but none of the people being shunned would ever admit that any of the issues about team MAGA being anti-women anti-minority anti-brown people anti-science, etc.
He told me, “I have no earthly idea why people think something like a discussion with facts will change the mind of someone MAGA - when that someone is more than willing to suffer being cut off from friends and family without a second thought rather than abandon the cult“
I thought that was an astute observation, as there is literally nothing we can say or do to change most cultists minds about Trump. it is a fever dream that we can convince people to be less gullible, less ignorant, or less hateful. At this point, it is baked in beyond withdrawal unless they and there’s personally suffer some unusual amount of pain and poverty that can be directly attributed to Trump. And even then it is not a given.
