Regarding personal communications with others.

You can't say that you know for a fact that every single democrat spoke with a well reasoned tone to being threatened and attacked.

Theres a reason they think we have our heads in the clouds.

You're only more likely to succeed in proving the truth to them with straight, reasoned logic.

What else is there? Screaming matches? Voting them out of power when the polls are rigged again?

And even if you did vote them out, will their base remember all the times we treated them with contempt? Or might they recall for a moment some of times we started making sense to them?
