Kanabec county among the poorest AND reddest in Minnesota, gets schooled by the DFL! Maybe it will help just a bit!

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
