We'll never change the minds of MAGAs, they're literally driven by emotion, not facts. And I'll never vote for Trump because I recognize who he is and what he represents.

That leaves currently undecided voters. It seems crazy that some people haven't made up their minds on Trump, but it's the truth. All polling and post-2016/2020 analysis agrees: these people will decide the election. So talk to them and promote Joe Biden and an alternative to Trump!

It's not about changing MAGAs. MAGAs are set. That is the wrong strategic outlook. It's about changing the undecided that lean towards MAGAs. This is how he won the first time. The marketing campaign (along with the Russians) was allowed to find an algorithm to isolate those undecideds and turn them.

They aren't obvious. They are usually the ones that don't partake in discussions. They are the ones that don't have a stance. And there are many of them.

"The Great Hack" is a truly eye opening experience.
