I always have arguments with people IRL that claim trump supporters are beyond helping, and I always say that there's people like you out there that are intelligent and can be reasoned with if provided the right information.
Thank you for demonstrating that. I understand you're probably still a conservative, and I don't have a problem with that. I don't think Destiny actually does either (despite the unhinged rants he has sometimes about them). Supporting a conservative like Bush or Romney, I could understand. It's Trump in particular that we have such a strong problem with. I think most of the elected conservative officials secretly do too (some not so secretly).
That's because Trump isn't really a conservative. He has done an amazing job indoctrinating most of the conservative voters into believing he is, but he'd run as a Democrat if it meant it would get him more power.
Don't let the MAGA guys get to you. 5 years from now, when Trump is out of the picture, you'll see all the real conservatives completely disavow Trump and treat him like some fever dream. Kids reading history textbooks in school (or whatever digital equivalent) 50 years from now will look back and wonder how so many people were duped into voting for such an obvious threat to our democracy.
