    There’s a question I have, and it’s an honest one: Did you ask WHY ? and HOW?

    One can’t begin to understand another until those they are trying to understand provide those answers to those questions

    Otherwise it’s just two strangers making noise.

      Why and how what? Why and how Trump? Yes, I’ve asked, but it’s not sensible. The other commenter seems to have had similar experiences where the answer is tautological or not grounded in reality. Trump is going to “get rid of the deep state”. How/why? More nonsensical stuff. It’s a cult at a certain point and you can’t logic someone out of something they didn’t logic themselves into. I am willing to engage with them but it’s hard to not write them off as bad people if they were willing to go against logic and against helping people. The article itself points out these people are voting against things they say they want. That’s not logical unless they want other things more, and the thing they want more than a progressive tax rate is some nonexistent vibe they want to achieve.

      I can answer for both sides but they’re unwilling to see that their how and why is flawed.

        You keep asking until you find that one nugget that can be shined. Then you shine it until it burns all the shit around it

        Just my opinion
