You know, there may not be an option for changing their mind directly. The best option might be just to ignore the dumbasses and maybe they will figure out Trump is hopeless.
We all want the same thing...less Trump supporters. Some people think that Trump supporters deserve ridicule and that ridicule will lead to less Trump support...I don't see it that way. That's not to say that any individual person who spews BS about X or Y shouldn't be called out...however, I don't think that the knee-jerk bigotry towards people who supported Trump will lead to less support for Trump. I believe it will, overall, have the opposite effect. It's not about coddling them...its about being strategic.
And I also think that there are a surprising number of reasonable people who chose Trump because they felt they had no better option...the main goal (which the Dems are fumbling right now) is to provide those people with a better option.
