(4,461 posts)... encouraging those that are sorry - or kind of have regret - to vote differently next time? Or to not vote at all?
I just don't think flinging poo at them is productive. If they marched in a Klan rally, yeah. Fuck them. But after 6 months of promotion on the WS websites for the big rally, I think perhaps 1,000 or so showed up? Maybe a couple thousand? That's hardly mainstream, even if Prez Shithead himself was supportive. Many of my republican friends were embarrassed by that event, and more so by Trumps not-so-veiled support of it. Or at least that's what they tell me.
The poll people keep citing to me in this thread says that 88% of his voters would still support him. That means 12% wouldn't. I suspect that's unprecedented after only 10 months (although I haven't researched it - maybe it's normal).
I'm willing to gamble that perhaps we can influence that 12% with good arguments for progressive ideals.
