    This is basically relying on the fact that these people should…

    1. Employ rational thought
    2. Care about others beyond their inner circle
    3. Have an IQ higher than room temperature
    4. Most importantly never been negatively affected by something trump did because that’s the easiest way to convert a MAGA trumper (they support him until it affects them)

      I’d like to put forth an amendment on number 4.

      Can we add (, but only if they realize it which isn’t very likely considering the nature of cults.)

      (they support him until it affects them)

      The only media they consume anymore will never blame Trump, thry will still somehow spin it to be liberals, communists, immigrants, or anything else. Never Trump. So they will literally never make the connection and will live in a continued flood of hate.

      You might want to specify “in Celsius” for #3. Giving them a 70-degree Fahrenheit IQ is overpromising.

      Number 5 is “are willing to accept any negative info about Trump as fact”

      Saying “you voted for a rapist” does nothing because they refuse to believe he’s a rapist. They hand wave it away with conspiracies about witch hunts and the deep state.

      You can’t shame somebody over something they don’t believe is true.

      I have a couple in my family and can confirm from my very small sample size that their brains are mush. Constant Facebook dopamine drip addiction, no actual thoughts. Addicted to rage and will seek it out whenever possible
