    See a normal person would see this as opportunity to bring this person over to their side. This could be an opportunity to explain to this person that this is how other people feel too, that her she’s not alone in her rejection of Trump, and that she’s better off joining everybody else in the fight for everyone instead of just for some.

    However, a deranged person would see this as opportunity to mock and belittle this person for changing their view because they view people as inherently evil.

        The point isn’t to convert, politics is not religion. The point is to use common ground to establish coalitions and utilize diplomacy tactics (compromise and cooperation) to advance practical policies that seek to benefit the greater good. You’re not going to see eye to eye with everyone, and it’s wrong to think that you should only ever work with people who do. If people like her share a common stance with us, it would be foolish not to capitalize on it.
