The reality of the slow motion train wreck tRump is engineering has not impacted many maga yet. When it does, their emotions will turn and that is the key to turning them.

They have been programmed with talking points to counter any fact presented to them about democracy or the economy. But when they have to forgo a new deck so they can get a new truck that is $5,000 more expensive or vice versa, then their emotions get engaged.

Push emotional buttons about regime participants living the high life at their expense: Blondi's Rolex, Kash Patel partying at Vegas casinos, tRump's jet, Lutnick's mother-in-law not worrying about Social Security.

There are many other emotional buttons to push with veterans, truckers, farmers, tourism workers, etc. Listen carefully and then push.
