(5,240 posts)Have you ever tried to have a conversation on policy with a right winger? They just parrot faux or limbaugh talking points and don't care about facts or evidence.....it's all "fake news".

Watch "Brainwashing of My Dad". Show it to them.

There is NO POINT talking facts or policy with them. You MUST aim to get them off of Fox and Limbaugh. ENGAGE on Fox and Limbaugh. Explain WHY rightwing media lies to them. It will feel useless - no one will ever admit being a sucker. But their behavior will change as a result of your conversation. I've seen it.

(24,396 posts)that inspires Ds to get to the polls. Were the news that tRump was down to 32%, it would result in Ds staying home because it was in the bag. This news keeps everyone on alert to the job at hand.

(16,646 posts)In the absence of anything particularly substantive to change people's minds, there wasn't any particular direction to go but up. Remember Nixon left with something like a 20% APPROVAL rating. i.e even if you get caught doing the most unbelievable thing of the day, 20% Will STILL approve. If you're just a run of the mill moron, (trump) 30% is easy. The last 10+ % is the whole "he ain't Hillary" crowd.

I have been meaning to look up the accuracy rate of a lie detector. Key point NO ONE ever mentions. (that she passed and that he refused).

(3,479 posts)still a miserable 42.6%. Obama had better numbers while tackling 10% unemployment and two wars.
Given the dream scenario Trump was handed, his numbers are ABYSMAL.

(42,770 posts)Like we have surpassed the tipping point of horrible stuff thrown on. His worst polls were in October 2017. Which I conclude was the tipping point. Now, the other side just thinks we are obsessed and piling on the dude.
