    You are right, mocking someone for being wrong isn’t going to make them turn sides. As shitty as they might be right now, you need to treat his voters as children who misbehave. Mocking and punishing is not the way. The problem is internet and social networks don’t function that way, they favor divide, people like mocking 47 as muck as the other side likes to glorify him.

      Oh dear, you’ve learnt nothing either.

          Not OP but I’d wager he will say that you shouldn’t treat them like kids, that’s already looking down on them. Just because they got duped repeatedly doesn’t mean we shouldn’t lose our ability to empathize. They just started their introspective, assist it as much as you can and you can make them go from conservative to progressive even. The movement needs all the pebbles it can get.

            Yeah. There’s also the fact that they can read our fucking comments and know exactly what we think of them. If we think we’re belittling them privately and manipulating them elegantly; We aren’t.

            I’ll also say this: Trump vs. Kamala should’ve been an easy win for Kamala. Y’all fucked up.

            I guess my thoughts got lost in translation since I’m not a native speaker, that’s what i was thinking too. Btw, i don’t look kids from above, i see them as overly emotional, easily distracted, can’t take care of themselves, but always full of potential.
