Far more Sanders supporters voted for Hillary than Hillary supporters voted for Obama. In fact deserter rates for Sanders supporters was already on the low end of average.
So all you elightened centrists in this thread better get off your pedastool take a good long look in the mirror, because this applies to you as well.
Yep. We need to do better with stopping sabotage from within and without. Someone on Reddit suggested that everyone get familiar with Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" to understand the philosophical underpinnings of working towards victory. We shoot ourselves in the foot a lot. Usually with good intentions, but we need to do better at working together.
One example is the despair caucus, which insists on assuming that every trump voter believes in the most hateful bullet points of the alt-right and cannot be swayed, when the reality is that most people hardly pay attention, and Barack Obama won Indiana in 2008. Or the folks who say that Trump was attacked all through the election and he still won so it's a waste of time to try anything.
Things look bad right now, but acting like they're unfixable for all eternity is a preemptive surrender that just helps the bad guys.
I guess I'm harping on the left more than the right, but it's because I think our allies' behavior is fixable. I can't fix the neo-neo-nazis, but I can try to prod people to drop the ideological hair-splitting and work together to fight Trump! E.g., $12 minimum wage and $15 minimum wage are both DOA federally for now, so let's put a pin in that argument until it's relevant again.
I don't know if this will help your situation, but a movie called <em>The Brainwashing of My Dad</em> is about one woman's struggle with the exact same problem -- Fox News brainwashing her father.
Right-wing disinformation is overwriting people's personalities like some sort of mental virus. It's crazy.
Obama warned us. Trump ignored the warnings and played golf.
23,000+ people died. The economy crashed.
You're acting foolish. Leave the cult.

It's on Amazon also, many colors available there. I got the Heather grey one that was a good poly/cotton blend so it won't shrink and will be softer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T4VSK87/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_cNLuFbB0Y5AZT
