Ms. Hughes. this was a great article. And I do laud your efforts to talk to Trump voters. But I think that you made a mistake. You can't reason with people who are still in a cult. I cut a Trump-supporting friend of mine off in 2016 because he refused

to listen to facts. When I pointed out that white supremacist sites were getting more traffic because of Trump's comments, he refused to believe it. That was before Charlottesville, the sh*thole countries comments and the Capitol attack. It's too bad it took the Capitol attack to make you realize how bad Trump was. I'm not going to sit down at the table with people who back neo-Nazis.
