Unleashing a barrage of facts will almost certainly unleash a barrage of cognitive dissonance in the hearer. Yet we are observing that, slowly, people are rejecting MAGA. It's not fast enough, and it can't reverse all the damage from the past 14 months - not to mention the many, many years it took to get us to where we are today. Our children and grandchildren will have to fix the damage. Our job today is to minimize it.
Beautiful summation of life in suburbia, circa 2026, for a person with a shred of compassion, a gag reflex, and a desire to see this great country move ahead in a sane and positive direction. Jeff you are doing the right thing NOT unleashing the barrage. Keep it civil and sane
We need our own hats! What's our slogan, our branding? A blue hat with white lettering that simply says, "HELP US!"? A blue hat with an upside down flag? A blue hat with "America Used to be Great", or "Bring America Back!" (a BAB hat)?
When I can (I don’t have a dog to walk) I wear my Dump Trump hat. Dueling hats. Get something similar and wear it proudly like our nation’s forefathers and veterans.
Wise choice. It's best to keep The Crazy at arm's length, if not further, as long as possible. You could -- and doubtless would -- land every rhetorical punch, but facts don't matter. The truth doesn't matter. Nothing matters to them but their blind, slavish fealty to the Glorious Leader Donald "Jesus in Diapers" tRump.
You might as well try talking to a wall.
If they're ever to see the light and make the turn back to sanity, they'll have to do it on their own -- as with so many things in life, any change must come from within ... but I won't be holding my breath waiting for that.

Sometimes, it's not worth the time, energy, and valuable brain cells trying to talk sense into these MAGA cult members.
Yes…but would say it’s usually, a waste of time and energy to talk sense to them…
Good for you to continue on and enjoy the rest of your morning! Commenting wouldn’t convince her of anything anyway.
I've started to equate MAGA with "Make America Go AAAGGGHHH 😫!" and that helps me feel some compassion for their ignorance, just a bit.
Likely you will be unable to convince her that your position on DJT is rational & accurate.
But you can try… Thanks for your posts!

Lots of grace in there, bud. Well done.
So relatable. 1000x/day.
You just need to start wearing your own red maga-style “you are in a cult” hat with a smile 😊
