    Heres the problem. We kept the gloating and “I told you so” to a minimum after Trump round 1 and the Civil war.

    Hammer it home. They need to know Every. Fucking. Minute. Of every. Fucking. Day. That the choices they made got them fired, took their job, and ruined their country. Almost everyone knew it was going to happen and warned them, and they just dug deeper with their knee-jerk “nuh-uh” fake news 3rd grade playground bully logic. They need to know beyond a doubt that they are stupid, short-sighted, easily manipulated bigots. Why? Because the only way they can change it and do better is if they fucking know it, believe it, and see that they need to change it.

      I think the “I treat people like shit and expect them to change their view because of it” is harmful.

      This is not how you change a mind. This is how to get sombody to double down on their bullshit who where ready to change their views.
