Such people cannot convince people outside of those like minded, the vicious, and the gullible.
To some degree that is true and timeless, but some of what you are saying seems to be that we need the 4T mindset. Now, I don't disagree that both are needed now. I just expect that the Democrats will overdo it, and that come the next unraveling the people might get tired of it.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
