How can you reach people with closed minds? Try these.

Have you ever talked with a liberal and made a comment that shuts him down completely? "Trump sure is getting a raw deal with that FBI raid, isn't he?" His eyes go glassy, and he starts to look for the exit. Or he repeats something automatically, like "Trump deserves anything he gets."

This "orange man bad" mantra is often called "Trump Derangement Syndrome." It effectively shuts down all communication between disagreeing sides and prevents any kind of meaningful dialogue, even between good friends or family members. Even intelligent people who are suffering greatly from Biden/liberal policies, through loss of jobs, high gas and oil prices, rapid inflation, high taxes, or curbs on religious freedoms, won't be able to change their minds and consider voting for a conservative or moderate candidate once he is somehow linked to Donald Trump.

So how can you reach people with closed minds?

1. Be from within their tribe. Start by reinforcing what the two of you have in common — you may have lived in the same city, had similar jobs or similar backgrounds.

2. Get permission to discuss — "Would you like to tell me about your views on global warming?" This makes the idea of a discussion non-threatening.

3. Resolve never to argue or raise your voice. Don't threaten or invoke fear. If things start to become even a little heated, then withdraw — "we can always discuss this later" or "now may not be the time to discuss this." Getting into a heated argument is going to activate the liberal's lizard brain and end logical reasoning.

4. Start small. Don't try to convince the liberal that Donald Trump is the next George Washington. Go for a smaller issue

They will not be able to attack civilian buildings with F-15s. They’re useful only against established, isolated enemy positions, not guerrillas embedded in a big city and attacking at their leisure. For that you need SWAT teams and intelligence.

Biden reveals more about himself than he does about his made-up enemies. He would use F-15s, probably indiscriminately. If CW II is forced upon patriots, they would be invisible and everywhere and also nowhere. They would own the ground.
