Forget your MAGA-pilled relatives, they're gone. There’s two completely different kinds of people you probably know one of who are persuadable:

Normie pro-business upper-middle-class men who think Trump will be better for their personal finances, and leftists convinced some light fascism will move America towards socialism.

Both are underestimating just how bad Trump would be for their interests. Call them and talk them off the ledge.

The center-right men worry that Harris will raise their taxes, or heard from racists like Sacks that she's “stupid”. They hate Trump, but they think he'll be better for them financially.

Trump has said he wants to overrule the Fed on interest rates, risking the economy. Trump's tariff idiocy will bring back inflation, and unlike taxes a moderate congress can't stop tariffs. Tax-free social security will balloon the deficit. Deportations of workers harm the economy. These are WSJ-endorsed views.

The news about how General Milley and Matthis–old white dudes they'll respect–genuinely think he's a fascist and a threat to America maybe hasn't broken through to them. They think another Trump term will be OK like the last one because people will keep him in check, so it'll be fine. It's different now. There'll be no Gary Cohns or John Kellys. Full on fascism is bad for business.

Remind them split ticket voting is a thing. They can vote D for President, and R all the way down after that.

As for the left wing person in your life who is angry that Biden/Harris haven't done more (Roe was overturned on their watch!), the idea that a quick dose of the bad stuff will bring America home to the DSA is so off it's hard to counter. The best approach is probably to try and scare them to their senses.

Luckily the Trump campaign is provide lots of material for this. Right now at a rally for Trump in NY there are some blood and soil speeches bringing the house down.

@airspeedswift “Roe was overturned on their watch”

Had the Bernie or Bust crowd tempered their “I just don’t like her” impulses in 2016 and showed up at the polls it wouldn’t have been Donald Trump picking SCOTUS justices, it would have been Hillary Clinton.

Roe being overturned was a direct response to who people voted for in 2016 — not 2020.

By the time Biden was in office it was too late.
