If you could reason with them they wouldn’t be republicans.

We should stop trying to convince them with logic, and start paying off the far right talking heads to change their talking points. If fox and newsmax pundits, and the shitty far right members of congress (like bimbobert and MTG and minor-lover matt gaetz) did an about face overnight, so would the entire republican base.

Republicans are really beyond trying to logic, reason with and even barter with. It's their way or the highway, all of the time, about anything.

Give them an inch, they want miles. Give them something, they'll want everything.

They don't want money (which they already have anyway), they want power and control over others - which is why they project that onto Democrats.

This is mostly true but in politics you constantly deal in partial success . If 5 percent of the audience are swayed to not vote over voting GOP even that is worth it.
