I have a close family member who was a pretty hardcore Leftist until recently. Surprisingly, the thing that started to open her eyes and change her mind was the way the Left is crucifying the President for referring to covid-19 as the China virus. She said that while she has never liked him to say the least, she thinks it is ridiculous that he is not allowed to state the fact that this virus came from China. The rioting and looting and attacks on American values and culture are affecting her too, so much so that she is probably going to vote for Trump this time.

For hating gun ownership so much, the Dems sure manage to shoot themselves in the foot a lot.

Thinking the looting and criminal behavior is awful does not equal a vote for POTUS Trump. :

Trump is president right now while the rioting and looting is going on. How would putting him into office fix things when it's not helping right now?

You are correct that anti-Trumps lack awareness of "logical connections". Good to see you're coming around

If you live in a blue state, why will you vote for Biden now but would not vote for Hillary in 2016 in the general election? Is it because you were a Bernie supporter?

Hillary Clinton was very qualified and had the right experience to be President.

Some of the women on Biden's shortlist for VP are terribly unqualified to be President.

It is as if Truth & Reasoning, with examples being put out there for all to see and witness, has red pilled many Democrats to realize they are more conservative than they thought.
A hardcore leftist friend of mine, actually agrees with me, on some things. It is a welcome change.

Great point, Leo has really figured out BLM. He is an old-timey liberal, really likes to debate, and he sees BLM preaching anti-free speech.

Another really good point.

I hope so, I grieve for those precious Children and their heart broken parents.
