heard all those things, but also got into with a guy who was emotional and upset when I told him I was “considering” voting for Trump.

But as we talked, I challenged a lot of his beliefs about climate change, etc. And my wife told me by the end he looked shaken like he had gotten beaten up in a fight. And I was nice about it, but the cognitive dissonance apparently took a toll.

I have no idea if it had a lasting impact, but I planted a seed. Thing about the guy (was British) was that he was a sensible and anti-authoritarian type of person which is why he was able to have the discussion. And there are a lot of those types who were liberal because they thought that was being for the underdog and don’t realize they’re now for the authoritarians.
