I know some people instinctively find it distasteful to accept Trump voters who are having doubts, but emotionally it can actually feel a lot better than being mad all the time at them, and practically it is obviously necessary.

It is in fact a main goal of all the noise making and protests.
Our numbers likely aren't large enough even if we turn out in large numbers to win in 2026, presuming semi-free and fair elections.

We need a bigger tent that will pick up folks disaffected from Trump but we've got to figure out how to tolerate some points of view we don't share.
