(85,134 posts)And seems to me that's a key strategy! "Happy NOW?"
Just a wee bit of a reality check. Seems to me if we gently confront people - GENTLY - and guide them toward thinking. Thinking back to WHY they voted this way. WHAT did they want? Do they REALLY think they're getting what they want, now? Now that they voted for him and he's in there, is this all working out the neat and cool and bigly way they expected? Are they REEEEEEEAAAAALLLY happy with the whole "Captain Chaos" thing?
It might be a gentle way to invite some of these folks to start waking up. Nudge them awake. I bet there are more than a few with second thoughts. Starting to have second thoughts. Starting to wake up and realize - "uh, gee, uh - this isn't working out the way I thought..." or, even better: "uh, gee, uh - HE isn't working out the way I thought."
There are still plenty of 'em out there who are still, somehow, liking what they see. But I suspect that won't last long for many of them. INEVITABLY something will click. INEVITABLY, something will hit them that affects them directly. Just imagine it: if we can gently nudge them toward that way of thinking, from the figurative clown-car airplane they're on (that's looking like it's on the way down - the HARD way), and make sure they see the parachute nearby, then they might be that much more likely to reach for that parachute and bail out of the plane.
On edit - I just got a heart! Whoever sent it to me, THANK YOU! <3
