~ Personal Commentary
Let's face it, Trump -- a white supremacist vulture capitalist -- is overwhelming and we all have work to do to figure out if we are in the midst of any of his supporters who can still hear and we how we can talk to them, effectively, because our Americans make their statements at the ballot box.
I am of the mind the featured talk can give those of us who need it a fresh perspective as to where those difficult conversations need to come from.
So. Take a deep breath and listen to his point of view on what is most important to put forward in the discussions we must have. Then, re-group and get to work doing whatever it is you do best -- in an effort to not only repeal GOP but to replace GOP with pro-American elected officials.
(Spoiler: The "why" is critical!)

P.S.: If they can't hear after you've opened up and shared your passion for America with them -- cut your losses and move on because some people simply do not want to hear and they must be separated from the rest, quickly.
