This question’s on my mind because my coworker today mentioned they would vote for Trump if they could (mind you this is 2023, in Canada). I don’t generally have the talking points or the desire to fight about it, so I just deflected the conversation. But I often wish I was more strong-willed and could try to figure out why someone believes what they do and, if it’s invalid, then convince them otherwise.
Thus, I’m curious what you all would say or what you’ve done in the past!
I just really don’t see any of the small group of gay women and stoners in my life turning against me like that. It would literally be a shift from friends to voting for my death. My least favorite politicians don’t just believe things I disagree with. They may not be able to say it publicly, but they want me dead. Even if we were no longer friends, I don’t think anyone in my small circle would vote for anyone to be systematically eliminated. Hell, many of them would themselves be in the sights of the same politicians. My best friend would probably be the other type of girlfriend to me if she wasn’t in a long term relationship when we met.
