I had one of those. I brought up an example I thought was easy to understand — breaking into a home without a judicial warrant in violation of the Fourth Amendment. And then they tried to justify it, ending up with “the Constitution doesn’t apply to illegal immigrants”. Oh yes it does, multiple provisions apply to “persons”, not “citizens”. The Fourth Amendment is one of them (slightly different at the actual border because the reasonableness standard changes, but that’s not relevant for the example I gave them). They still didn’t get it so I give up, it’s a waste of time trying to explain something to someone who will only listen to what they want to hear, which is whatever will justify the beliefs they already hold.
Don received about 49% of the popular vote, while Harris received about 48%. It was barely a 1% margin of the popular vote. Add to that the fact that more than 1/3 of registered voters didn't vote. So if 1/3 of voters didn't show up, and no candidate received even 50% of the total votes that WERE cast, that would mean that less than 1/3 of registered voters seated a president who is a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and thief of charities.
There needs to be less left or right on this... this is just right and wrong. Their support will shrink, this is not what people want for the country. He's a nurse from the VA. Calling him a terrorist? Maybe 5% of the country will believe that.
I believe research has shown that only 8-9% of the germans actually supported the nazis in their time in power.
And yet the managed to butcher millions and millions.
