    I agree with your ideas you posted here. But this fear of losing guns that so many others have,
    causes them to do strange things...like vote for tRump....just because their own chosen media sources
    and the NRA has convinced them somebody wants to take their guns away.
    How do you get through to these folks? How do you convince them that their fears are based on lies?

    They could start by NOT labeling the Million Maga March as a gathering of right wing extremists and also NOT start busing in AntiFa/BLM radicals to violently counter their rally. Too much to ask I know. We see you.

    and it's the right that waves the Confederate flag, even fighting to put it on State House lawns

    There will always be those who believe people are coming for their guns. I don’t think there is anything that can be said to quell their fears.

    Like Biden will prove by attempting to pack the court if Dems take the Senate races in Georgia.

    The right already has the courts packed. If anything, Biden would only balance them to be fair...not one sided like they are now.

    You may be right about that. If the left would just ignore these right wing dudes that are prowling around the streets with AR's, maybe the wannabe fascists would get bored and go back to playing call of duty

    But would that stop them from believing falsehoods? I think not.

    I see your point. But are you sure they actually believe the falsehoods?? Or do they just go along with them because they enjoy what the lies produce...
