Have you talked to Trump voters, man?

Most of them are not salvageable.

It's the same essential mistake that the Harris campaign committed this past election which may have lost us our democracy permanently - a favorite mistake of the Democratic Party seeking to fend off its left-wing by showing (or, in this case, 'showing') that bipartisanship and reaching 'across the aisle' is a winning formula. Trying to reason with right-wing voters in this country is a lost fucking cause. Reasoning with those who've tuned out due to apathy or despair is the way forward - assuming, of course, that votes matter going forward, which is far from guaranteed.
