(I wanted to call the thread "The final solution to the Trumpster question" but thought that might be a bit too clickbaity.)
There's been quite a bit of discussion about how evidence can't convince someone who hasn't reached their current position through evidence, and that seems mostly true.
Trump supporters seem to be on that boat because the world is changing in ways they can't deal with, and in response keep becoming more and more radicalised, now calling for the execution of basically anyone with liberal leanings, and espousing nonsense conspiracies like Qanon. I think it gives them a new sense of "belonging", which is definitely hard to break.
So how does the US deal with this threat to democracy and law and order? If evidence, discussion and compromise won't work, then what? They can't just be ignored, can they? And of course the other extreme (the classic: concentration camps and mass executions) is unthinkable. So what's the solution? How can the Trump supporters be brought back from the dark side, or otherwise neutralised as a political force?
