Focusing on Trump's 'broken promises': Senator Jon Ossoff rallies for the republic in Savannah

"Trump promised to end the wars. He promised to release the Epstein files. Did anyone really think that the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey #Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?"

Yeah, a lot of the elements for fascism were already in place in the USA way before Trump. Police violence, the prison-industrial complex, ICE...

Trump did not invent them. He merely supercharged them. And the " #VoteBlue no matter what" people need to acknowledge that the Democrats either did too little to stop such practices, or actively encouraged their growth.

It took Democrats ten years, countless senseless deaths, risking global commerce, and global climate before they could learn this simple fact that was so easy to see in 2015 as it is in 2025.

They like fascists more than they can admit to themselves.

In all honesty, #Liberals & #Democrats don't mean or believe in what they say, and it's so clear when they do this stuff time & time again. A.K.A. #Liberal #Zionism! And you #VoteBlue #BlueMAGA types are cowards to admit what you all believe cos it's socially unacceptable to do so and that having a #Jewish Ethnostate in #Palestine is acceptable & why you're normalizing a #Genocide that has lasted for 3 decades while slightly pretending its a strategic disagreement!

I also hate #Trump so if you voted for him don’t bother me.

I am frequently forced to interact with someone who:

1) is definitely not any kind of Republican or Trump supporter but

2) insists fanatically, sometimes angrily, that nothing, NOTHING can be done about ANY of the world's problems, except casting a vote on an election day. They think things like donating, volunteering or advocating somehow aren't real or meaningful uses of time

Tell me what I might say to this person to attempt to change their mind.
