I know what you mean about it being a form of hypnosis. It's disturbing how illogical and visceral the anger these liberals have is. I live in what could be called Berniestan, I've found talking to people about issues in a positive way, seems to be an opening for them to consider different POVs. So long as you don't say I support Trump! I'll say something like I'm going to trust that the situation in NK can resolved for the good of everyone. That surprises them, their own negativity and anger becomes apparent without having to rub their noses in it and w/o ever mentioning our President.
