    People like him helped Trump win.

    People like him are the only people Trump supporters might listen to.

    If you ever hope to sway a few Trump supporters, this is the only sort of way to do it. Give them an out, give them a way to say “well we didn’t know it would be like this”. To the extent it was always obvious that they should have known it would be like this, just swallow it, smile and nod at their change in support.

      People only change their mind from in-group pressure. (That and, sometimes, horrible personal trauma). It’s sad and stupid, but that’s how humans work.

      If you want to change trumpers’ minds, you need them to see you as in-group. Otherwise emotions prevail and they won’t listen.
