Here is what you are needing to overcome: You say “our” choosing. It was not “their” choosing. Continuing to name call and piss them off is NOT going to work in your favor.
Have grace, give grace. Use arguments that attract rather than criticism the repels. Oh and not voting for my candidate means you are voting for the other guy ... is just weak. Show how your candidate is the better choice with positive points.
I will caution you that most conservatives look at Trump’s history and dont like what they see. They see far too much liberal and not enough conservative. THAT is the perception you need to change.
There was no attempt, at least on MY part to piss anyone off, simply to state the obvious, but evidently
That which is obvious, is only obvious, to whom it is obvious.
Grace? I think others on the FR have put it most succinctly, this is a time of transition, and give it awhile to sink in.
The perception they see is their reality, but its a smoke screen to what is really happening.
But as you say, Facts are Facts, but Perception is reality.
Now we are about the business of making Perception and reality the same thing.
