1. Covid, but only if they, themselves, are infected and it's bad or a loved one dies.

If it happens to anyone else, it's "fake news."

[empedocles]

10. Closer to home, where they 'feel' Covid is a real threat to them.

[I hope to write a personal anecdote experience here with a trumper, illustrating the difference between complacency and 'feeling a threat'. May be a pivotal consideration]

[lagomorph777]

28. Yes, and with Trump owning the forced school opening apocalypse, this is going to bite hard.

[sarcasmo]

2. Social Security ending and Seniors moving back in with their adult children.

[Greybnk48]

7. Our adult children are back with us!

Well, one of them is still here. One left again in June when things opened back up and the other is married and stayed put. Our middle girl, 38, is still here working remotely for a medical company.

They all three would agree to care for us, but I'd rather just get what I paid for for 50 years of work, my SS.

3. I'm thinking burning bush

Or some other kind of God-revealing-himself event.

Nothing else seems to crack the thick skulls

[CaptYossarian]

14. We have an entire state on fire, but their xenophobia is just too strong.

I say we end using cutesy names for fires and hurricanes and replace them with the names of oil executives and GOP politicians. Let's give credit where it belongs.

[unblock]

4. Stock market crash.

I think the high stock market has been saving Donnie's bacon so far, and no surprise the fed is doing everything it can to pump it up.

A lot of republicans will forgive anything if their 401(k) is going up. If the market is up from here on Election Day, the election could be closer than we think.

But if the market collapses, Donnie is toast.

[LakeArenal]

5. Yes. This. And maybe a loved one dying of covid after a party.

[empedocles]

6. That will take care of the wealthier 'cons, methinks.

[J_William_Ryan]

8. Nothing.

There’s nothing Trump might say or do – or fail to do – that would sway Trump voters to vote for Biden.

There is no event – no matter how catastrophic – that would convince Trump voters to vote for Biden.

[DenverJared]

9. The social security party (the largest and most reliable) will dump him

No one attacks social security and gets elected.

[empedocles]

12. The 'third rail of politics'. SS

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. This

[catbyte]

13. Nothing. They're too invested to even consider thinking they were wrong. It's baffling.

And terrifying. Oh, there will be a few defectors, but not many.

Edited to add: Everything but what that thing spews is "fake news" to them. They will actually have to get CV-19 or lose their SSI/SSR checks and even then they'll somehow blame the Democrats. It's a cult.

[BernieBabies]

15. a videotape of Trump having sex witb a black man

[Funtatlaguy]

16. A lobotomy.

[aidbo]

17. Trump voters do not care about the things that most of the rest of us do.

I chose the social security answer because I think that’s the only thing that might sway some of them.

I thought the tone answer is funny because his ‘tone’ is why most of them voted for him in the first place, not a reason they wouldn’t vote for him.

In essence they voted for Trump to ‘own the libs’ because he was the most adept at it in their eyes.

[Blue Owl]

18. This latest comment that those who sacrificed their lives are "losers" and "suckers"

Beyond appalling that ANYONE would dare say such a thing.

[Miles Archer]

20. Yeah, I read that article AFTER I did the poll...

...that's definitely a new low. I'm waiting to see Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell tonight for the reactions, beyond what I've already seen on Twitter.

[Demsrule86]

19. I voted other....because all of the above will elect Biden.

[GoCubsGo]

21. Not a thing.

They'll just tell you it's all lies intended to hurt Dear Leader. Or, they'll blame someone else. Look how they blame Obama for everything that has gone wrong after he left office--even things that are demonstrably Trump's doing. They are a death cult. Nothing is going to sway them away from him.

[Kaleva]

22. Nothing.

[RazzleCat]

23. I selected Covid

Here is why

Social Security, no not because it would not cause heads to explode, but rather they will not believe it. We have been hearing of its demise for decades.

Russian Bounty, already over and done with. "Both sides do it"

Social Unrest, Well if they just obeyed the police officer.

Please not not my opinion on the above just how I believe the right equivocates on these issues.

[struggle4progress]

24. Don't spend any time on the true believers: you won't sway them. Those who are sitting on the fence,

or are near enough to the fence to think of sitting on it, are a different story: but they'll be a mixed lot, and there won't be a single magic bullet for them

[Miles Archer]

25. You're right, I've shared many stories about my sister here...

...she's "all in," she's already celebrating four more years of Trump followed by eight years of Don Jr.

That's right, the crazy runs that deep, my other sister's heart is broken by all of this, but we have no choice but love her as our sister and hope to hell that something shakes her out of this.

And yes, we have tried "talking to her," and she's stubborn as a mule, and a few seconds in her denials of anything negative about Trump turn into yelling."

The "try talking to them" thing is easy until you actually doing it. Her world view is shaped by Hannity and Carlson. She will not look outside of that bubble. She's in her 70s, which doesn't help. She's been a hardcore "Fox Fan" for AT LEAST the last couple of decades.

[qwlauren35]

26. The "Trump" Voters

are not going to be swayed.

The "anti-Hillary" voters are the ones who might vote for Biden.

[Poiuyt]

27. If it's revealed that Trump paid for abortions of his mistresses

I haven't heard any rumors about this, but you know there must be some in his history.

[Mariana]

29. That wouldn't work.

They'd just say, "That was before he became a Christian. It's all forgiven now."

[Le Roi de Pot]

30. Nothing --- They are prepared to go down with the Trumptanic
