Lots of threads lately posting photos of their rigs flying Trump flags.

You can really disarm these folks by saying (truthfully!) that you ain't no fuckin Democrat, and not a liberal for that matter either.

I brought up the child prisons, and how "as a Christian" I just can't abide putting kids in cages, or jailing children for the crimes of their parents. It just ain't right.

They'll mention how Obama started them, and you can say (truthfully!) that you didn't vote for Obama in 2016.

Just hammer over and over about how kids in cages aren't a deal-breaker for them. It makes them feel like shit.

    I don't get much push back from the rural folk, honestly. I don't really know any who even vote. I'm not denying the existence of die hard chuds in the sticks, but I think they're infinitely more reachable than the libs.

      Though I can't say I've really changed any minds permanently, I've had more (in America btw) self-identified Libertarians actual engage with and entertain socialist ideas than Democrats.
