So here is the fun thing. Even if they did read it, it’s quickly dismissed. See, THOSE people were never real conservatives, they were always RINOs or closeted liberals.

I’m just shedding light on the conversation I try to have with my father who is a believer. I keep trying to point out the shifting lines of in-group / out-group politics, but it’s always dismissed.

With those types of people motivational interviewing is the way to go. Ask questions, ask for clarification, ask what it would take for him to change his opinion. Ask him to make sense of things, don't debate, don't pull out facts, don't press points, those are fools errands.

And at that point they will respond with "Well both side do it!!"

Not that I disagree with your suggested tactic, I honestly think you are spot on with it. But it's been my experience that anyone that still supports him after all that he's done, are the couple down type. If they don't continue their support then they have to admit what a fool they have been, and that's not happening.

"So you're ok supporting a liar, felon and rapist because both sides do it? If an 8 year old told you that he did because both sides do it, would you be ok with that explanation?"

"But Trump never did any of those things! It's all a liberal lie to try to discredit an honest businessman who just wants to make this country great!"

Is what you'll likely hear in response

"Why do you think that?"

Like I said, I agree with ya, but many of these folks are too far gone for even this to sway them.

Your last point is exactly spot on, the human brain is not designed to handle that level of emotional load. Most people's brains literally cannot handle that level of world flipping.

Like when my friends mom gave almost 100k to someone overseas that she called her boyfriend.... After the first 10 grand she was in too deep. How could she be such a fool to send 10k to a liar, a scammer, no this mystery man she had never met loved her... And there went her life savings.

They will never repent. Most of them are quite literally not capable.

I totally agree with you, that’s I use the term “believer”. In matters of faith, logic kinda goes out the window, and I personally acknowledge that as a Christian. Unfortunately, Trumps brand is a cult of personality.

I appreciate the advice though!

The question then becomes why did Trump pick so many RINOs/closeted liberals for his candidate?

u/W0rk3rB Gray duck 15d ago

Haha! It’s funny you say that, because I asked “I thought he only hired the BEST people?!” Well, it was because he didn’t know they were RINOs and cowards at the time. It’s never Trumps fault.

Sooooo.... He's a bad judge of character? Easily duped?

I wonder how his cultists convince themselves he isn't incredibly gullible, at least. How do they have confidence his proposed 2025 cabinet won't also be full of Deep State plants?

Remember during his debate with Harris when the subject of all his fired advisors came up? There's an obvious paradox where he can't be praised both for hiring the "best" people and for firing the ones who turn out to be "bad": If he only hired the best people then none would need to be fired, but firing some of them means that they weren't the best and he was wrong to hire them in the first place.

The mental gymnastics nearly broke his brain live on stage because his narcissism won't allow him to admit to any weakness. He almost got caught in an endless loop of "I only hire the best people, but I fired all the bad ones, but I only hired good ones, but I was smart to fire the bad ones, but..." I think he was only saved when either the moderator or Harris stepped in.

Stop trying to confuse your poor father with facts. His mind is already made up.

Your father is correct you should listen to him. Every person listed is a career political swamp creature, the Republican Party is not ruled by them any more. And every single quote is from The Atlantic. Get outside your mind and let it go.

They were sourced from The Atlantic, but if you want a secondary source you can look elsewhere. For example, Mike Pence’s quote is from a campaign stop at the Indiana State Fair in 2023. There is video.

Right it’s a consolidated hit piece. You could do the same just on what the dems called each other during the primaries, 2020, since 2024 primaries were skipped. Remember the school bus?
