You’ll never convince her if you take the D vs R approach.
Sure, Team R talks a good game....at least some of the time. Plenty of other times their talk is just as bad as Team D.
Such as their long-standing support for big business. As if the corporate behemoths and bankers are on the side of free market capitalism (they’re not). And their endless support for pointless endless Forever Wars.
But when it comes to walking the walk, the GOP never delivers anything good for the average American. Especially on curbing illegal immigration and outsourcing jobs to foreign countries.
What I would tell her is that both parties stink equally, but Trump is something different. And that’s why the entire political establishment is against him and has made him the most persecuted political figure in American history.
Did she support the Iraq War? If she’s a Democrat, she was probably shouting “no blood for oil” back in the day. Trump was the only Republican to call the Iraq War a terrible mistake. And that’s why the GOP Establishment hates his guts.
Ask her these simple questions....”If you hated Bush and Cheney, and Bush and Cheney can’t stand Trump, is it logical that this means Trump is even worse than Bush and Cheney? Or is it logical that he’s something different and better? And if the Bush/Cheney Republicans are in agreement with the Democrats that Trump is a monster, doesn’t that make you wonder whether our whole two-party system is a scam?”
Appreciate the advice, but A. she won’t discuss it, and B. she has stated that she will NEVER be anything other than a Democrat and C. She told my wife not to discuss it with her either. SO I just don’t try. I talk to people with open minds about politics and sometimes they agree with me and other times not.
