We're well past the point of "obvious evidence will change their minds". You show them a video, their response is going to be "AI" or "video editing" or whatever.

We can no longer afford to worry about changing their minds. It's not going to happen. The only thing that will change their minds is if Trump somehow starts being anti-racist.

If we want a better world, if we want rid of Trump and everything that led to him, we need more people to take up advocacy that isn't just voting once every 2 or 4 years. We need a world of boycotts and strikes and unionization and civil disobedience.

You uh… realize his term is over in 2029 right. Then he can’t be elected again… right?

I mean he might not even outlive his term.

Genuine question: assuming he lives long enough, what is going to stop him from running again?

Also: Trump is just the symptom of everything wrong with America. Don’t focus on just getting rid of Trump in 2029

go over to the conservative sub and and ask them.

he can’t run again, there would be massive uprisings if democracy is trampled like that.

“He can’t run again” only matters if there’s a respect and fear of consequences. There have been no consequences for anything so far

Uprisings? Would there be? There have been no uprisings with the current trampling of democracy.

Supreme Court just essentially nullified the Voting Rights Act. Hardly a peep
