The only way to talk someone out of voting for Trump is to stop trying to talk them out of voting for Trump. To all my fellow progressives whove been busily browbeating supporters of this dangerous demagogue, youre invited to become an early adopter of a far more rewarding, non-adversarial approach called powerful non-defensive communication.
According to most commentators, the prototypical Trump supporter is an uneducated, narrow-minded bigot with legitimate grievances against the faltering economy which Trump has skillfully alchemized into violent rage toward non-whites, Muslims and successful women. The Trump voter is a patriarchal authoritarian primed since early childhood to fearfully submit to a bullying father who always knows best. In the circular logic of the authoritarian mindset, might makes right and so Trump, as the strongman, is necessarily the winner in a competition against losers.

Salon’s argument: “...but, but, you’re racist.”
Not an argument.
Actually, Erica, you ignorant wench - I just want to see Trump stomp you and the rest of the "journoblogger" crew of the Media Death Star into a quivering mass of whimpering bloody jelly.
I guess the Saloon wants you to think Trump hates Ivanka because she’s a successful woman. That’s some weird sh*t from the lib loons.
With the left it is never common sense or straightforward fact. It is all "nuance." Your mind is not subtle enough to understand the real danger that Trump poses.
Let’s see, I am a woman. I am educated—two post graduate degrees. I am not a racist. And I’m all in for Trump.
Author is wrong on all counts.
Those words mean very different things to a "progressive" and to a rational person.
LOL! Salonistas really do believe their own ridiculous fantasy world. Liberals can certainly be good for entertainment, but they should never even be near power. You might as well give a three year old a nuclear bomb.
This is all well and good and the writer did contact another female ‘expert’ professor of somewhere to get all the BS blather for this story. I’ll bet NEITHER of them have tried their own recipe. That’s probably because they haven’t gotten off their ass and gone out and seen anybody in drive by America. Just complete pap for the wishful liberal mind’s comfort..
Surely this is satire.
Erica "Why The Long Face, Erica?" Etelson has got a kollidge dee-gree frum Berzerkely Kollidge on the Left Coast. Ain't THAT special? :)

Wow.
“According to most commentators, the prototypical Trump supporter is an uneducated, narrow-minded bigot with legitimate grievances against the faltering economy which Trump has skillfully alchemized into violent rage toward non-whites, Muslims and successful women.

WOW! These people on the left are really damaged. As a person with a post graduate degree, any “rage” I feel is against those who ignore the Constitution and the rule of law. The leaders in this movement appear to be the current failed president, a former first lady, and George Soros.
I knew *exactly* what she looked like before checking her out on the web.
Oy!
Based on this article trump need to wear a sombrero and glue a pointy mustache to his lip and he will win all the uneducated hispanics.
Since when did uneducated voters desert the liberals/progressives? They are their bread and butter!
The entire article is a strawman genocide, seriously.
I would totally encourage this sort of thinking. It’s what’s paralyzed the left and neutered the enemedia for a year now.
“The Trump voter is a patriarchal authoritarian primed since early childhood to fearfully submit to a bullying father who always knows best.”
And they know this....how?
Any article that begins with a fictitious description of a large group of people is obviously bogus.
We have a local hack writer that constantly creates “conversations between Trump and other people”. This is journalism?
But what do I know? I'm a Deplorable.
