This question’s on my mind because my coworker today mentioned they would vote for Trump if they could (mind you this is 2023, in Canada). I don’t generally have the talking points or the desire to fight about it, so I just deflected the conversation. But I often wish I was more strong-willed and could try to figure out why someone believes what they do and, if it’s invalid, then convince them otherwise.
Thus, I’m curious what you all would say or what you’ve done in the past!
The politicians that I hate would like me dead or completely mentally subjugated/repressed (I’m trans, autistic, and part of some other groups, also not exactly rolling in cash 😄 .). If I found out one of my friends supported someone like that they would cease being a friend, to put it mildly.
Most of my friends are also trans or have other reasons that fascists would treat them similarly to how they would me, so it’s extremely unlikely they would support those types :)
