Dumb it down, for fuck's sake.

140. I actually tried it with republican acquaintances several times and Nope...

They would rant about something and I would gently suggest what the truth is.

Nope, they kept claiming that he’s a conservative and we need to cut waste and stop DEI .. that the deep state is a treat, that we can’t trust the NIH, etc.

I’m surprised that I stayed calm as this happens in small group gatherings or parties, and people are watching.

I do believe to try again if it occurs. Perhaps they will listen.

It’s not the words , it’s the processing of knowledge that threatens them.

We can use words such as autocrat and oligarchy and explain it. These are precise words which capture the actions and attitudes which describe #47. We can say: The rich billionaires are forming a group of greedy, lying, shitheads who want to topple our country…they are promoting Oligarchs like the Putin today and Stalin in the past. Their puppet is #47 who wants to be the king.
