I matched with this super pretty girl a few days ago on tinder and we hung out i cooked her dinner watched a movie ect. She got mad when she saw my trump flag when she walked past my room. She asked how i could support such an evil man. I asked her what makes him so evil she sat there for awhile and said he ruined the us and hes a racist. I tokd her to say his policies that ruined America and how he was racist. She brought up the classic all mexicans are rapists i showed her the full clip she said she had no idea it was out of context. She couldnt name any executive orders or policies. I showed her all his accomplishments and the part of the Capitol speech where he says peacefully. Again she never saw either and she said she feels bad for blindly hating him and admitted she didnt look for the truth because of snopes

My 16y.o. daughter had a similar reaction when she found out I voted Trump. I asked her why she hated him and she said he was anti LGBT and a racist. I showed her that he attended a gay wedding and appointed openly gay personnel into the upper echelons of his administration, played the full context clip and showed the administrative actions he took for the black community
Once her eyes were open I asked where she got those ideas from. Turns out it was a former classmate from her old school. I ended the lesson with an explanation of the Trust but Verify mindset and how you especially have to apply it to politics and news in this day and age. I'm going to do my damnedest to make it stick
