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 cannot be friends with DeSantis supporters. Even moreso since I live in a major city in a US state where, despite being a swing state, DeSantis’ ideas have proven a losing position (Doug Mastriano pledged to make PA “the Florida of the North.” That’s how the Democratic nominee won that year.)
I hate to point it out to you, but you most likely are friends with a DeSantis supporter or two. People are very much willing to lie about or omit who they vote for in order to maintain social relationships, and if you could look into others personal thoughts, you’d probably be very surprised to find out who of your friends are.
When politics are cut out of the equation, you’ll find you can be friends with DeSantis supporters, just as long as you’re kept in the dark.
