It seems that next election — if there is a next election — people should take printed things to these rallies. Like the gospel tracts in the back of churches. Anticipate the crap the left will bombard you with, and pull out a “tract” with verifiable evidence to counter it, complete with references to make it easy to research.
I guess it doesn’t matter; they’re not really there for information in the long run.
That is 100% true in the case of Leftists.
I have been to dozens of these types of events in the last twenty years, and one thing I learned is: you can often talk to "liberals", but you cannot talk to "Leftists".
Some "liberals" are approachable, and some of those are even reachable. Many are young, and with the experience of paying taxes, buying toilet paper, and raising a family, they grow out of the immature adolescence of Liberalism. Life does that to many of us.
But there is no talking to "Leftists".
Leftists are ideologically driven, and neither life experience nor education can dislodge them from their asinine radical Marxist, Fascist, and Communist views. They are impervious to logic, reason, rationality, and facts.
Liberals are not necessarily Leftists, and Leftists are the Pigs you don't want to try to teach how to sing.
They are to be avoided at all costs. They are to be fought against, not engaged with. Like that lunatic that approached me, he likely knew that rule, and tried to hide his true character until he got me to engage.
When you think of it, it isn't any different than what the Democrat Party does at all levels with the electorate. They want to hide their true nature until they can get their hands on the levers of power. That is why the adage to "Watch what they do, not what they say" is so spot on with them.
They know there is no mandate for their policies, so they have to conceal those policies they will enact, just has Harris is trying to do.
