      - That's step two. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 11:18

        Yep - what is needed for America to be great again? Why do you think Donald Trump is the guy to deliver that thing? -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 11:13 5
        
        Those are great questions, if you expect someone's motivation to be grounded in reasons or logic - znufrii Dec 9, 11:23 4
        
        They get to the emotional reasons - that America is different now and was better back then, that no one cares about what people like them think, etc -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 11:32 3
        
        And how do you get from there to answering my initial question? -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 11:53 2
        
        Plus, it also means you can tailor your responses to their emotions. Like if they want to talk about fairness, talk about fairness. - Roger More Dec 9, 12:05

- Figure out how to do it without destroying their view of themselves. - TWuG Dec 9, 10:23
