Say this to Trump voters, Stop drinking the Jonestown Kool-Aid.

Trump voters are truly the sheep of our society. They make their decisions based on emotion, not on logic or common sense. Frighten them, anger them and you can lead them to slaughter.

Sadly, they say the same thing about us. They are in their own sick world. SunSeeker Jun 2018 #2

They’re not changing, no matter what. Go after unregistered voters, nonvoters and swing voters.

They hate race mixing and are white supremacists. Even the sweet little old Republican ladies. All of them.

I think of die-hard trumpers as cultists, not unlike the wackos who, during the arrival of the Hale-Bopp comet that time, put plastic bags over their heads to kill themselves because their wacko leader told them aliens were coming in a flying saucer to conquer the world...or something.

I think most trumpers are lost causes.

Not in any way justifying their behavior, BUT they do have some other political points that seem very valid to them. Big-mouthed political bigotry from those who have no idea what those are and respect them even less got very old a very long time ago.

If you can't say anything nice about them or speak to common ground you have with them, keep your mouth shut about them. Deplore and worry about the effects of certain government actions, but not them personally. Don't drown out the voices of crying children and frantic parents.
