I read her stuff because we were the real last kids in Tennessee's state orphanage before political correctness shut it down in favor of foster homes (where they promptly lost track of where what kids were where).

That so many like her, damaged and distrustful, cuddle up to the lies of the sweet nothings the Democrats utter while never delivering just points up how me, an average student, ended up Valedictorian despite smoking enough dope to kill an elephant. And I try to find some bridge to make her and her kind THINK and overcome their enslavement because ultimately we can't do that for them.

Having become a critical thinker despite a childhood steeped in leftist doctrine, I know for a fact that it is possible to become aware of the left’s agenda, rather than just being a blind and deaf follower. The key to that, I think, is to introduce seeds of doubt. Challenge beliefs. I did not read that screed, but I bet there is plenty of material in there to challenge.

The left loves to call Trump a dictator and/or compare him to Hitler. The challenge is to get the indoctrinated leftist to list some of the things dictators do, and ask for evidence that Trump has done any of those things. I doubt the leftist will catch on right away to the things the American left political class does that fit right into dictatorial behavior (like spying on political opponents, smearing their character, levying false charges of wrongdoing against them, etc.)

Anyway, I realize that there is a ton of stuff that I could say on this topic, but that would make this post 10,000 words. The bottom line is that nothing you say or do will immediately open them up to rational thought, but throwing little crumbs here and there might get them to start moving in that direction. For instance, you might point out that the FBI and CIA do not hold opinions on Trump, but that any criticism of Trump came from their heads who were Obama political appointees and therefore were in those positions to implement Socialism, which Trump opposes.
