You really can't argue with stupid. No matter how much you want to, it just doesn't work. They double down on their preconceived notions the Trump has a plan. That he is a genius. That he knows what he's doing. Think they'll figure it out when the economy crashes? Nope. It'll all be Biden's fault.

This is a much better response then sacrificing transgender people and pretending the progressive values cost us an election. We weren't too woke. We weren't woke enough.
Forever reject the trope that Dems lost because we were too “woke.”
Trumpers voted for an incompetent, treasonous con man because THEY were too hateful.

I can't state this more clearly. The fraction of the American population that is elderly and susceptible to dementia is large and growing fast. This is a critical population health crisis. It needs more attention, not less.
