Being it's the end of the month I had to get my car inspected today. I have gone to the same place for years but never saw this person/worker there before. I sat in the office and this worder started talking about McConnell and how he and other octogenarians shouldn't be in office, I agreed. Other comments he made made me think he was going down a based path, UNTIL I brought up AOC and how she won an audition for the job. THEN he starts talking about how much he likes her and how smart she is (I almost threw up in my mouth) and how he thinks MTG is an idiot (I wondered if the blood from biting my lip was running down my face). He said MTG is QAnon, to which I said, "There is no such thing as QAnon..." and he said, "Oh, I know all about it."
The saddest part was when I brought up transgenders in the military and HE IS ALL FOR IT!
Not to mention, he was making comments about slavery as if HE was a slave, getting whipped and forced to work out in the fields. So, I just smiled and bit my lip a little more, until the owner of the station came in and said my car was ready.
You can't argue with stupid.
When people lost family members and friends because they lacked the persuasion skills to save loved ones from getting jabbed I hoped this would finally motivate them to learn persuasion basics.
Rather than calling these people idiots, I continue to have hope that they will start learning how to be more persuasive before more harm is done and I continue to pray for us all.
One book that covers basic persuasion basics that uses what Trump does to illustrate each technique is "How to Win Bigly" by Scott Adams.
As Q pointed out many times, we are in a life or death PsyWar. Consequently, learning how to be persuasive is a matter of survival.

Finally, for inspiration, I recommend watching You Tube videos that illustrate "The Third Dancer Phenomenon". Three people free an entire crowd that's held captive by fear. Over and over again.
Fortunately, President Trump is the First Dancer; the person who has to have the most courage. Consequently, each of us only needs to have the courage to openly and joyfully join him or back up the person who does.
Having fun is inviting. Listening to lectures is not.
