(55,445 posts)like I said, I'm just cutting them off completely.
I've gotten caught up in this little game every two years since 2000... Before Trump it was the Teabaggers I had to reach out to and try to understand, and before then it was the gunners, the values voters, the evangelicals, the social conservatives, the dreaded "independents", etc. Bend over backwards to tell them the benefits of voting Dem yet they'll *always* find a reason to stay with the GOP... Sorry I'm not going to kowtow to extremist views or validate their hatred against whichever demographic they're scapegoating for the election season...
The onus is ON THEM to make a good faith gesture to re-open the lines of dialogue, not me... And I've run out of patience trying to explain the rational to the irrational.
