    Does it matter why they changed their minds though?

    Anyone who votes against Trump and the GOP is making the correct decision and I’m glad they do, regardless of what it took to make them see that. It’s not easy to admit they were wrong and we need to make sure we’re encouraging and accepting of those that do.

      Nope, doesn’t matter why, I’m just flabbergasted that people would still be like “hmmm I dunno, maybe this Trump guy is alright” after everything else. And I’m trying to imagine the psychology of a person that’s on the fence about him for this long.

      It’s easier for me to understand the rabid fans and fascists than it is for me to understand those that are up in the air until now, so I was just throwing that out there.

        Personally I think it does matter because the same things that led those independents to be incapable of determining that Trump really is a bad man/president (despite the fucking mountains of evidence to support it) will lead them down a similar path with the next wannabe despot the GOP puts forth.

        I mean yes, congratulations for catching up to the rest of us. Why the fuck did it take them so long?

          Yeah, that’s a good point. I was trying to be too agreeable with the last guy but I think understanding the psychology of everyone that votes for trump, is enthusiastic about Biden, is on the fence for either of them is important. So we can potentially counteract that
