I think “stomping down” is the wrong phrase to use. Regardless, I have a couple in my family… Asking them “how do I change your mind” or “what would need to happen for you to even consider the other side” has shown me some people can’t be helped.

I wanted to vote NDP but I felt I had to vote Liberal to negate their PP vote. My riding is liberal this time and I’m super happy.

The ones that can’t be reasoned with; They have to be stomped down. We tried to be nice to the maggots, but it didn’t work.

Yes. This is sadly the case. Nothing else will work. You have to yell at them and harass them. Call them stupid children. Stop doing any form of business with them. For fucks sake, if they are family members cut them out of your life and tell them exactly why you are doing it.

This is the only way you could possibly reform them.

It’s sad to see how many times I’ve seen dehumanising being up voted recently.

Human rights apply even to the worst criminals.

While this is true, I don’t think advocating of “punching fascists” is on a policy level, but rather an individual one.

Why would ask a trans individual to respect the “human rights” of someone that doesn’t even see them as human?

That some primo Trump speech right there my guy. How about we don’t stop of anyone and recognize bad social conditions lead people to make bad choices?

Or you can just enjoy your time being the oppressor I guess.

I’m curious why you’re being down voted so hard.

I’m also curious how I would “stomp down” my family member to not love everything trump does. We’re both Canadian and they haven’t been to the us in my life time…

To me, there’s no talking to the extreme of either side. If a logical and factual conversation can’t change someone’s mind then I don’t know what will.

Well, what would change your mind and have you vote conservative?

Having the conservatives stop trying to harm and kill people would be a start.

But that’s the point. Conservatism is the opposite of progress.

My main points are free health care, dont ruin the earth, and minimum wage should be able to afford a life if they work 40 hours a week.

I don’t care the title or label of the party. Show me the person running who is kind, well spoken, and wants these three things and I’ll vote for them.

The cons would have to ditch their main tenets: bootstraps, mercenary healthcare, hating teh geys, hating the ‘ethnics’(my drunkard uncle’s words) … so, yeah: hate. They’d have to ditch hate and smarmy elitism.

No. I said what I said. These people are pure evil. They are the new Nazi party.

Stomping down is the right phrase. Americans should have been making MAGAs afraid to leave their houses the past four years.
