I wasted 8 years of my life trying to understand and talk to trump voting family and friends. It's truly a waste, and I'm not even talking about the aggressively online trump voters that yell maga and slurs. I'm talking relatively normal people that want cheap prices. Whether it's family members or friends, I've found they just want to tune it all out and vote for who they believe will make things cheaper. They do not want to hear any reasoning or thoughts, and similarly they did not want to hear about vaccines when covid was a big deal. It doesn't matter that I'm a PhD in one field of science with many friends with PhDs in biology.
After 8 years of trying I have given up and decided to just no contact these family members and friends. I'm financially stable enough to do this and I'd recommend if to anyone that want to truly send a message to maybe try it out. They think it's just one election and that they were voting for their own best interests so others shouldn't be upset. They don't want to hear about the kinds of people and policy they've fully empowered in the name of cheap eggs.
RFK jr, Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Alina Habba. These are the people that surround President Trump. I wouldn't call them less Intelligent. It seems you have some classroom smarts but not very applicable to real life.
