Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

The problem with having a casual and fair discussion about candidate policy is that you're doing it with a backdrop of people being murdered in the streets by fascist death squads and your lack of urgency just drives home for these people that it can't be that big of a deal if you're still having a civil discussion about it.
There is no way to be civil and fair with people who have decided this kind of activity is acceptable - they do not have consciences to appeal to. They are the people who only understand fear of repercussions and the exercise of force as behavioral modifiers.

There is not a single demographic with a positive approval rating for Trump
If the majority of people that voted for Trump are unhappy with their pick, it should be easy to swing their votes
Your refusal to engage and ostracising people who don't even like what they voted for will do nothing in the long term to improve the country
If they're unhappy NOW, after the last decade of fucking nonsense, then they can GOOOO FUUUUUCK THEMSELVES.
Us holding hands and singing Kumbaya with them isn't changing their minds. The fact that their shit decisions are finally affecting them is what's changing their minds.
Lol. You don't have much experience with conservatives, do you? Let me make it easy.
Party > Country
Every. Fucking. Time. Them being unhappy with Trump in no way, shape, or form means they're going to swing their votes to a different party. They would NEVER. Under pain of death. Under pain of their children dying. Nothing.
It's always the same with conservatives. Support a piece of shit scum loser until they legally can't vote for him anymore, then pretend they never knew the guy and proceed to vote for the next piece of shit scum loser with an "R" next to their name.
This statistic raises the question: did they stop supporting Trump because of logical arguments, or because they lost friends and social status?
Go through the data, it's on specific policy and data points
