This is how I get my "in" with people who don't like GEOTUS. I tell them that I used to think he was a buffoon also, but then I dug a little deeper and actually listened to what he himself was saying instead of what everyone else was saying about him. It turns out that my opinion was clouded by biased information. Then I end that line of conversation with "Trump is not the monster he's made out to be."
I meet plenty of "lefties" regularly, and most of them are at least willing to entertain the notion that GEOTUS might have their best interests at heart.
I have yet to experience a visceral reaction like you see on TV. Fuck the MSM…I hope they get busted for sedition.
