re: dudgeon, truth, making up one’s mind
One problem that Trump and the good guys are going to have is convincing people who *KNOW* that their guy is the good guy and the other guy is the bad guy. We can help.
Think about this: So many of us despise 0vomit and know he’s a bad actor. Also the Clintons. So many libs despise Bush 43 and know he’s a bad actor. Also Bush 41. What is probably going to be revealed is that ALL of them are bad. (At least that is what I am seeing, based on all I’ve read lately.) So we need to be able to acknowledge to the libs that yes, indeed, they were right about Bush and we were wrong to support him. (Or if not “we”, then those other knee-jerk conservatives).
Then we need to show them how “our” evil guys were in league with “their” guys and that all of them together were screwing us all and screwing the USA.
I believe this will do a LOT to help them open their eyes to the evil of their “favorite” candidates.
The point is NOT that we were right and they were wrong. The point is that there is a LOT of evil and corruption and it is bad on both sides of the aisle and we ALL need to open our eyes and critically examine the facts. We need to open our minds and not cling to our traditional/historical favorites in the face of hard evidence.

Best FReegards,

I’ve been saying for years, that both sides are corrupt, and don’t represent the best interest of their constituents.
You said, “Think about this: So many of us despise 0vomit and know he’s a bad actor. Also the Clintons. So many libs despise Bush 43 and know he’s a bad actor. Also Bush 41.

I think you have NAILED it! It was so hard for me to give up my reverent feelings for GWB. I had already had suspicions about GHWB, but really thought GWB was OK. You have stated my position well. We have ALL been in error, and now is the time to acknowledge that and move on to fix it together.
