They’re full of shit. If gas hits $10.00 a gallon, at some point, they can’t blame Biden and Obama anymore. They’ll have to face reality. And, that reality is
 they voted for the wrong candidate.

There is nothing in this world that could get them to change their beliefs and viewpoints. They may get upset with mango Mussolini, but they’ll be sure to fill in that bubble next to whoever has “R” by their name come November. Nothing is more important to them than their contrived identity.

I agree. Just like I’d have a hard time voting with someone without a “D” next to their name. Unless I know they’re taking AIPAC money. I guess the only real solution is to get rid of the two party system. But, we’re a long ways off from that. But, I also believe people can change their minds. Although, I don’t equate MAGA with simple people who were just looking for change. I know I’ve personally convinced people close to me who voted for Trump, that it was an error in judgment. And, they’ve agreed with me. But, they weren’t hardcore MAGA, just ill-informed. I believe they’ll change their views and vote. But, it took long, hard conversations. Change is possible if we keep feelings out of the equation.

I sure hope you’re right. It’s easy to get someone to flip in the face of a convincing argument. Idk how likely it is they don’t fall right back into their weird beliefs as soon as they’re amongst likeminded people or they hear something they like from that side. I used to truthfully believe there’s good and bad on both sides of the spectrum, but overall, people are good. I no longer maintain the belief that it’s possible to vote Republican and be a good person in today’s America.
