I can see how they weigh on his every word and believe his lies. In their eyes he makes believable arguments.
We on the other side know the facts, have the facts on our side - but the deplorables don't care about the facts. They are mini-Trumps with all his racist and mysoginyst and heartless beliefs and will follow him to their own demise. What will it take to wake then up? Does he have to take their children from them?

(17,006 posts)It's like trying to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of your time and it annoys the pig. Much better to focus on getting people registered to vote and getting them to the polls.

Surely that must be happening, although the last poll number I saw was discouraging.
However, if he keep talking all of the time, especially on Twitter, more people will turn against him.
I see my sister-in-law's dad on holidays. I feel sorry for him because he just isn't very smart. I mean,
he's an extremely conservative Christian yet doesn't even know what's really in the Bible, especially the gospels.
He voted for Trump even though he doesn't like him because he said, "at least we'll have Republican policies."
Now, it's clear that he's really embarrassed about it. I have to say I relish his shame about having been
so naive. I mean, they guy was a Marine and he voted for a traitor and seemed to have no idea this could happen.
Look on the bright side, there are probably a lot of them out there who feel foolish right now.

(19,074 posts)FOX News this morning is all huge stories about how Trump was vindicated by the IG Report and how Obama's FBI was trying to stop him from becoming President.
Reality no longer matters to them. Know this, Mueller will eventually release his report that is full of mountains of clear evidence Trump is a criminal who worked directly with Putin and Russia to steal the election. FOX and Trump will immediately say that Mueller's report totally vindicates Trump of any wrong doing and this matter is now closed. This is the stage we are at.

(25,253 posts)They have their plan in place to discredit anything that Mueller comes up with and they want that to happen well before the Nov Midterms - because they know that they can lie and convince a certain portion of the electorate to believe them and keep them in power. They know that the sooner that this investigation winds up that by Nov the American People that have a short attention span - will forget about it and keep them in power.

(50,956 posts)looks now. That doesn't fit with what I think of myself. So he must be much, much better than he seems, and THEY'RE just not letting him show it. Its all fake news, and I'm still smart, like Michael, not like Fredo."
