That is assuming they are listening to you and not Fox, Newsmax, Elon, etc. Trump doesn’t have to convince his followers of anything, he’s got the right wing media for that.

When things start to go bad we will have to create events that will attract attention. I don’t know if they will get to Fox News, but they will get to local news. Demonstrate at supermarkets or electronics stores when prices rise. Video people being dragged out of their homes. Show people who can’t get treated when they’re sick. Companies will get bought and people will get laid off. I don’t know, but I expect, based on the MAGA history, that a lot of terrible things will happen, especially to the LBGTQ community and women. It’s already happening with “Your body, my choice” being chanted in high schools. The assholes have been released. I don’t think people voted for that. It won’t bring down the price of bread.
I hope you are right and it’s certainly worth trying. I’m a bit jaded. It seems there is no pretzel they won’t twist into to justify what Trump does, but maybe there are enough remaining who could perhaps be convinced. I just fear things like “well, if it weren’t for the Dems we wouldn’t have been forced to take such a position, but look what you made us do? If Biden (Obama, Clinton, Carter etc) had never been elected none of this would have had to happen.” As an example, my father who has farmed his entire life still gets pissed off to this day about the Jimmy Carter Russia grain embargoes. But when the Trump tariffs on China resulted in grain prices going into the dumpster and Trump paid farmers off with aid checks that amounted to substantially less than what they would have made well, not a word was said…if Trump did it then it’s ok. So, in my opinion all reason waved bye-bye a long time ago. But here’s hoping.
