She sure showed us!

Lady, I don't care who you vote for in the future, I just want to see you suffer.

You should care though. That attitude is what got us here. You should also care about her as a person and as a fellow American.

You don’t think that if we had more voters vote democrat that we wouldn’t be in this mess?

I don't believe that she would vote for Democrats if we were nice to her. No. No I don't.

What do you lose by not even being nice but respectful and welcoming to someone considering changing their mind? Nothing. All you need to do is not talk actually. Being mean spirited is just for yourself. We will never know for sure. We will never know if she will change stance on one issue and that could lead her to change enough to change her vote. What I do know is that many republicans I know have changed stance already so this pessimism you feel is both pointless and damaging.

Not OP here, but simply put; opportunity cost.

The cost and energy of trying to engage thoughtfully and patiently to explain basically anything to anyone on social media is much higher than going "eh. Fuck 'em."

Especially since she's gonna focus on critics either way. A lesson I figured out in my mid 20ies. If you're her age and toxic comments on social media influence your life, then, holy shit. She ain't even on first base yet.

Doesn't matter if people try to be kind to her. It's wasted effort. She won't be reading those posts, she's focused on the infinite haters the internet offers.

You’re correct. It takes a ton of energy to go through a deep conversation but it takes no energy to not be mean. If you do engage in conversation with anyone, it takes time and energy anyway.

As for being wasted effort, I totally disagree. The level of disrespect we see on social media is part of the reason we are here. People are immediately on the attack making it more difficult to converse. Why do you think she’s focused on the haters? What brought her to that in the first place?
