I'm starting to become convinced that a sizable portion of Americans are so brainwashed that you can just yell CODEWORDS at them and they'll snap to attention like the Winter Soldier.
TERRORIST (brown person)
RADICAL ISLAMIST (muslim)
SOCIALISM (left of hitler)
ACTIVIST JUDGE (ruled in a way we don't like)
etc.
Facts don't matter - it doesn't matter if the target truly deserves the label or not, all that matters is that they're the other and therefore they're "bad". This technique actually works on dumb people who respond to things emotionally without much scrutiny, so it's perfect for the maga crowd.

So now Trump is defending the Cornell Ivy league-elitist rapists. A president of the people. Why would any woman support Republicants?

Yeah, he certainly has a preference. He loves rapists and those who support it because those are the same people who support him and because on some level, he knows what he is.
Speaking of, Carroll finally got the payment from Trump's failed rape case.

"If I could just have a reasonable dialogue with a Republican, I could change their mind."
How actual Republicans think:
In order to be swayed by reason, you must first value it.

This is true, and they don't value the truth either.
