In reply to the discussion: My sit down with a Trump supporter [View all]Aristus
(66,509 posts)3. Thank you for having the brains, the heart, and the soul to do something like this.
And courage, too. I can't even talk to people like the one you described.
He may have agreed to read your sources with an open mind, but it sounds to me like he's not going to. After the conversation the two of you had, in which he admitted what Trump did was un-American and un-Constitutional, if he still plans on voting for Trump, nothing you present to him is going to convince him not to. His mindset is: "It's okay for Trump to do things I would oppose anyone else for doing." That's the cult mentality.

"The person I talked to thinks Trump is 'just saying things'"... Ditto for much of the "liberal" media

Will you be meeting again? I want to hear how this develops. I think you might make headway here.
