The most influential person in politics is you. Openly speaking out to your family and friends about the danger of Donald Trump is the best method of his defeat and the preservation of our democracy. All politics is local.
Oh yeah, a lot of good that will do against the propaganda machine with billions of dollars to spend and a whole apparatus of disinformation to use. But, I’m sure my uncle who has gotten angry and cussed me out over politics will surely change his mind this time

An article on using the technique for those interested.
You should make a main post with this. I think lots of people would appreciate knowing about this method.
Thanks for the plug, I’ll look it up.
