The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Subject: How to change the mind of a MAGA cult member

So far, we actually do have an example of a MAGA cult member changing his mind. There was one juror in Trump's hush money trial who said he got his news only from Truth Social. If this juror had found the defendant guilty, Trump would have walked free. However, our MAGA hero had to show up in court every day, and be presented with physical evidence in the form of illegal payments, and hear testimony against this crime boss every single day. It's only when you hear people sworn to tell the truth with penalty of perjury, and have the evidence shoved in your face that you change your mind.

But if you're a cult member, its easy to be surrounded by like-minded cult members, because you're not confined to a court room having physical evidence like stolen national security documents shoved in your face. And watching video of a mob attack the Capitol, and assaulting the police while the crime boss instigator did nothing. Because you can live in your own little bubble and deny that any of these things took place.

On the other hand, those of us who still know right from wrong, know how the Constitution works, well we see right through the adjudicated rapist and convicted felon. We're not going to let him get anywhere near the White House come November.
