i get asked a lot, "well, what CAN we do to get through to the diehard republicans who won't listen to facts or reason?"

my answer is simple. give up on them. people rarely leave cults on their own. and this is more than just a trump-era thing.
we get out of this by rallying the progressive base, which leaks over to moderates and even people who don't vote often enough. you elect good people who enact good things, you *take credit for it* (this is KEY), and repeat.
we can spend forever trying to get blood out of a stone, or we can plant crops that will harvest a gigantic yield down the line.
