This is not how some Trump voters I know think at all; it’s not how they think of Trump. Bring up any of these points and they’d think you’re totally paranoid.
I witnessed a group of old guys watching the movie ‘One Battle After Another’ scratch their heads and have literally, honestly no idea what it was about.
It’s because they’re in the habit of watching Fox News or other ‘old’ media. Trump’s just some Republican like they’ve always voted for with a bunch of hysterical finger pointers, and any Democrat is basically Jimmy Carter or Hillary Clinton.
That’s only a portion of Trump voters though. There are a lot of younger voters with less ingrained brain washing that came recently from new media.
I honestly don’t know what you do about the people you are speaking of. I have some in my extended family and there is no convincing them of things after 3 decades of programming. Even foundational knowledge isn’t the same.
You tell them that Donald Trump is a felon. He committed 34 felonies. He was found guilty by a jury. But the judge decided not to punish him. It’s a crime that normally gets prison time and Donald Trump belongs in prison, but the judge was scared. They’ll try to deflect and make excuses and every time they do, you just repeat “Donald Trump is a felon”
The point is to appeal to authority. Authority didn’t convict him of rape and pedophilia, so it’ll only persuade people who care about finding the truth for themselves. I’m talking about persuading Fox News addicts.
Yeah at some point folks get too old to change. You can try to get them off Fox News at least, but it just depends. Sometimes you can’t. Sometimes they really can’t even learn a new kind of remote/cable or whatever.
Younger folks are deep down the influencer rabbit hole, and I don’t know what to do about that (other than pushing Fediverse) since Big Tech has such an iron grip on everything. I mean, the future is definitely cyberpunk.
Here in WV them olds got fired up quick when they saw SS threatened. They might have to go back to work at 70+ and live the golden years in a golden shower they created with trickle down economics.

Well not to mention the rape, and pedophilia.
