Unless by "some" you mean "everyone I know and have ever met over the age of 5" and by "180" you mean "die hard MAGA for life", then I don't think we're quite there yet. Sorry to say but I don't think we're anywhere near the precipice. You'll never get the 4-6%, but up and until you have every garden variety soccer mom absolutely abhorred at what they voted for, the awakening hasn't happened yet and they'll just vote stupid next time too. We're going to need an utter failure like gas prices and Afghanistan happening daily before everyone sees it.
Well, since you mention it, I have successfully MAGApilled my close friends and family. I recognize it's not easy for everyone but I guess being good looking and a smooth talker makes it easier. These recent events have been the straw that broke the camel's back for some of them and I'm just like "Yeah sometimes you really do need a leader with the balls to tell our enemies they will literally be bombed back to the stone age if they start shit with us or our allies". Minds blown.
Do your best. Our friends and family members don't deserve to have their good nature taken advantage of by bad actors. Things have gotten so comfortable for people that they forget that evil is a real-world thing, not just a Hollywood thing.
