It’s asking a lot to develop relationships with people who voted for this.

Yes, it is. Guess it will show what people are made of.

I’ve tried multiple times and gotten burned every time. I know what they are made of.

I look at it as planting seeds. I don't expect immediate personal gratification. If you at least put alternate ideas in their ears, it might stick in their brain. If they never hear these alternate ideas, they'll never have something else to work with.

But there’s also the likelihood they might hurt you, once they know where you stand. Nobody uses bumper stickers any longer except MAGAs. Why? I rarely see anyone wearing merch, except MAGAs. I can’t afford a set of new tires/

That's a good point. I stopped using car stickers in 2020 because of aggressive drivers. I didn't want them following me home. I don't talk politics with MAGA. I talk concerns, their concerns and my concerns and how we can agree on concerns, and what the best way is to address them. I find this makes them more likely to converse and also more likely to drop the talking points and talk from the heart.
