Then those people were fucking idiots. Things were shit under Trump 1.0 with the inflation starting under him, it continued with Biden who was trying to keep an economy from collapsing after the Trump idiocy with a pandemic, so brought back in Trump 2.0 to finish the job of wrecking the economy.
Yet we have people that seems to defend these people like they’re not.
I don’t have a lot of hope of “winning people over”, it might come from living in a red state where people keep voting for the party that fucks them over, they get mad when they get fucked over, then they vote for the party that promises to take away the lube.
Yes. They were ignorant, and stupid, and poorly informed.
Where does that get you? Does writing them off instead of reaching out to them make the world better?
If elections still matter, you need them to win the next election. If elections don’t matter, you need them to overthrow the tyrants. Either way, you need them. You need every single person you can win to your cause. Even the idiots.
You don’t get to work with only people who meet your standards for intelligence, capability, and moral purity. You’re not going to fix the world hanging out in your little “Smarts only” club with the ten other people you deign to associate with.

Yes, we all agree they’re idiots. That’s old news.

It’s not my job nor my responsibility to seek out these people fix others stupid.
They are free to reach out but they need to extend the olive branch.
There are too many cultists to weed through to find the one person who is genuinely confused but is somehow unable to navigate their own way out.
