Very insightful governing image--the light switch. You mention several potential light switches that might apply to various people. Another one is media fixation. Some Trumpers watch or read only Newscorp outlets owned by the Murdock family. All other sources are liars. So, suggesting other sources or the need for a mix of information sources might work in some cases. I think that Trump, Musk, and some others are largely creatures of Murdock media that aims for billionaire populism as a means to wealth and political power. Government is the enemy, and rich saviors are the answer. The voter light switch may also be worth a try. Ask a Trump supporter, "Is this what you voted for? Your voter intentions may have been good, but are you getting the result you intended?" There's plenty wrong with government and with Democrats, I'd concede, but are Trump's solutions working? How long will you wait before drawing some conclusions? Yeah, it's your brother talking. Ed
