ask for specifics. And do not let them get away with vague generalities. Keep on pushing for specifics.

1) "The media does a great job overplaying how bad he is"
2) "This whole PC/BLM/Cancel Culture/Woke nonsense has just gone too far"
3) "We are one Supreme Court vote away from ending abortion and Trump will deliver"
4) "I just want less government"
5) - and the 4-cocktail level of honesty answer: "I want government that works for white people like me and my family."

I’m not kidding. We have a right wing AM radio station in our overwhelmingly blue town. The same callers get on air frequently. They and the hosts are effusive in their praise for Trump. And they claim that Democrats are living in an alternative universe, fake news bubble, hate the country, etc., etc. Nobody is going to get through to these types. They think he’s doing great!

Give it up. Move on. But take names. Our time is coming and its ok to be pissed and at least a little vindictive.

he's Republican.

They've been told all of their life to vote Republican.
Some see that Republicans can be good or Republicans can be bad but Democrats are always evil.

It doesn't matter what happens to the country, what happens to their family or what happens to themselves.
They don't vote on issues, they just vote Republican. Period.
