Unironically we should take his money and string him from a lamp post.

You don't need to put borders between Red and Blue in order to lessen the damage caused by insane conservative rurals.

Trump supporters just need to be excluded by non-supporters personally to send the message up top and tell old Democrats to split with their co-worker buddies, and stop the new Democrats from forming friendships with them. I see the fact that you end up being buddies with close co-workers being the worst obstacle that the Democrats who don't want their elected representatives to compromise with the Republicans have in their way.

Yeah man further atomization and decline of worker solidarity is exactly the pill to fix America.

Talking to them, like humans, about the real material issues in their lives, and trying to help them, instead of just acknowledging that poo poo sucks and then blaming it on *insert culture war issue* at best and not outright denying it at worst, would be a hell of a start.

Writing them off has demonstrably not worked, because writing them off pushes them further down the rabbit hole, further into the insanity. Going "gosh I guess we just need to get shittier" is loving terrible.

They don't care about the material issues. If decades of being hosed materially up in the rear end by their elected representatives haven't convinced them, what goddamn hope do you have?

Buddy if you think it's only Republicans who have been selling out voters to capital, you should probably refrain from posting. Alternately, I'm glad to see you give up on electoralism as a strategy.

You should probably not use "they vote for people who work against them" as a criteria for writing people off then.
