List of Easy-Reading Articles for Misguided Trump Supporters...

This list is intended to influence the misguided people in our lives who actually think Trump is okay or the lesser of two evils (or they've been brainwashed to hate Hillary).

Maybe we can still change their minds without being mean or starting a fight, just by emailing them a new headline every few hours. It may not get them to vote for Hillary, but it may discourage them from voting for Trump.

Try using headlines that are to-the-point and enticing enough to open. Even if they don't open it, the headline may sink in.
