8. "Yeah...."

I've found it useful to say, "Yeah, and what's really bugging me is..."

And then say, you know, that Kushner sold the country out for his own gain, etc.

The "yeah" makes them think they agree with me. <G>

It's pretty much no use to deal with the "cultists" who think Jesus ordained Trump. But the "always vote R" Republicans, the ones who probably supported Cruz or Bush or Christie in the primaries, they can be led away from the dumpster fire sometimes. It seems to help to go soft and focus on "Republican values", like "Wow, that was weird, those tariffs he just came up with. I always have kind of secretly admired how Republicans are dedicated to free trade, but maybe he's not really a good Republican, if he's going for tariffs like that."
