My nephew, God bless him, is a die hard Bernie fan. Previously we were unable to have any political conversation but thanks to memes we've been able to. We text memes back and forth and as much as we disagree in talking, we agree on much through memes and found quite a bit of common ground and now have better conversations.
So any who, anytime I bring up Trump and try to broach what he's doing he always references Bernie. I can't really out and out say Bernie's a POS as the conversation would go south quickly I'm sure.
Any info to try softly red pilling him on Bernie would be great. I know little about Bernie other than he's uniparty and a Socialist.
Ask him specifically what it is about Bernie that he likes? If he says, Bernie says this or Bernie believes in that, move the conversation around to what Bernie has actually done. Much like Joe, Bernie has had a long career and enjoyed the many perks of being a senator, yet actually accomplished little in the way of doing good for his constituents. He enjoys those THREE houses though. Bernie also wrote a very bizarre rape fantasy story before he was senator in which the woman apparently liked and wanted to be raped. (I didn't read it, so can't say for sure, but yuck.) He's a weirdo, to say the least. Your nephew may be familiar with HA Goodman, a man who was a YUGE Bernie supporter and wrote about him in all the leftist rags like Huff Post, Salon, and so forth back in the day --- but who is now --- wait for it, a YUGE Trump supporter. He has a channel on youtube that goes back years (at least to 2015, maybe further.) Maybe see if you can find some videos on why he bailed on Bernie (He finally figured out Bernie was weak and a sell out.)
That’s last one sounds like a winner. Rape fantasy? Mittens? What a creep.
Thanks, good points. I'll look more into this HA and try steering towards him next time nephew reverts to Bernie.
