I see plenty of ALL CAPS republicans.
[2] If you reflexively ignore or reject what I say, you won’t persuade me.
Well, that is a two-way street.
[3] If you use the F-word and the N-word to describe your adversaries, you won’t persuade me.
So all of Trump's name-calling... needs to go away, right?
[4] If you fail to condemn political violence in absolute, unalloyed terms, you won’t persuade me.
Two words: January 6
[5] If you psychoanalyze your adversaries, you won’t persuade me.
How about the experts? Do you believe THEM?
[6] If you can’t separate everyday life from political life, you won’t persuade me.
Again, DT brings everyday life into his "discussions" all the time.
[7] If you traffic in disproven accusations
DT dismisses PROVEN information.
[8] If your messaging consists of synchronized, transitory memes, you won’t persuade me.
How about dropping DT's childish, insulting nicknames for people?
[9] If you vilify masses of voters, you won’t persuade me.
Oh, I agree, but there's certainly plenty of vilification coming from the Oval Office.
[10] If you lack empathy for your adversaries, that will be obvious, and you won’t persuade me.
Empathy for a guy talking about grocery prices who has never stepped foot into a store and shopped? He makes broad-sweeping statements about middle America that are anything but empathetic.
[11] If you don’t understand your adversaries’ mindset, you won’t persuade me.
Sorry, I will never understand racism, the attacks on women's independence and knowledge, the looking down at the little people because they are poor or disabled or challenged.
[12] If your nominee can’t persuade your own voters, then you probably can’t persuade me.
If your nominee makes grandios statements about landslides and huge crowds, you probably can't persuade me
