I got this note from a <30 yr old mother of two yesterday. She says she is a social conservative, but I'll say she is a never-Trumper, "His Tweets are mean!"
For some reason, through 4 years of my aggressive shit-posting on FB, she is one of the few who has not unfriended me, so there's hope. How should I reply? My initial thought of, "What are you talking about? none of this shit you're asking about is real!" probably won't get me far.
Note - I love the comment from her liberal husband about watching less news.
Ok so I don’t want to argue, I won’t attack or refute what you say, I’m just legitimately curious... how do you view Trump’s absence over the last several weeks, refusal to deal with the pandemic, obstruction of bills like the defense spending bill when they were passed with a veto proof majority, and his dangerous claims and attacks about the integrity of the election? Most of my day the television is consumed by Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Cars, Daniel Tiger’s neighborhood, and teletubbies so I don’t have much time to watch CNN let alone watch Fox News to try to get a balanced news perspective. Also my husband has asked that I watch less news in general for the benefit of my mental health. So... can you please balance my news perspective and let me know what Trump supporters are thinking? I’m honestly legitimately curious but don’t have time or energy right now to consume reports from multiple news outlets. If you could summarize what I need to know to have a more balanced perspective I’d be very appreciative. ([My son] has been teething and waking everyone up in the house multiple times a night with his screaming and now is sick with a diarrhea and stomach bug so I’m beyond exhausted and getting almost no sleep)
Tell her to lose the soybitch husband and find a new daddy for her kids. Then tell her to simply look at everything the Left has done over the last 4 years and what has come of it. Point out how every attempt to bring down the President has failed and been bullshit. Then just list every accomplishment. Theres nothing much more you can do. It's on her to open her damn eyes
You could start by simply asking her if she is aware the left is literally censoring Trump's communications with Americans. If she is and doesn't care then she is a commie. If she does care, then start deboonking the hoaxes. Fine people hoax. Hydroxychloroquine is poison hoax. Impeachment hoax. Good luck to you, fren.
"For some reason, through 4 years of my aggressive shit-posting on FB, she is one of the few who has not unfriended me, so there's hope."
So respond with kindness and compassion.
"I don’t have much time to watch CNN let alone watch Fox News"
both those sources are compromised and present fake news.
"Also my husband has asked that I watch less news in general for the benefit of my mental health. "
That's a good idea. they are liars who are trying to manipulate your emotions.
"So... can you please balance my news perspective and let me know what Trump supporters are thinking?"
Rather than going to any third party, myself included ... listen to Trumps speeches. See what he says himself. Go back and look at what he said in the 2016 campaign and then review what you know from his first term.
Did he do what he said he would do?
"If you could summarize what I need to know to have a more balanced perspective I’d be very appreciative"
For the first time in my life, we have a president that does what he says and seems to honestly care about us!
trust the president. Everyone else is a fuckin snake.
