Some of you might remember an essay I wrote that was very well received and had over 7000 Facebook posts (back when they were keeping track). It was entitled:
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/1/5/1823854/-WHY-THOSE-WHO-LOATHE-TRUMP-FIND-IT-SO-HARD-TO-ACCEPT-HIS-SUPPORTERS
I had struck a nerve. I wrote it as much for myself as for the DailyKos community. But it got me to thinking about how does one talk to the Trumpistas?
Phil Proctor (of Firesign Theatre fame) and I have co-written:
What to Say to Your Crazy Right-Wing Uncle is a fun, informative handbook for progressives to counter conservative talking points and disinformation. Full of funny and clever dialogue and political cartoons, this is a perfect gift for your political allies and the loved ones in your life who are driving you nuts. Foreword by Thom Hartmann.

Please check it out. It’s a great stocking stuffer and a thoroughly researched resource for you to have at hand in this era of intense political tribalism.
