A word of advice for all of the liberals that don't want Trump to be the next president...

Stop demonizing and attacking his voters.

Stop going to Trump rallies and physically beating up anyone who supports Trump. Stop calling them Nazis while you do so.

This may be a bit difficult for some to accept but a huge part of his massive popularity is really in protest to the constant liberal biased ciclejerking. By now you must have noticed how when Trump says something the liberal media freaks out over and takes out of context to call him Hitler over, it has no ill effect on him, in fact his popularity only rises. This probably makes you think "Oh all Trump supporters are racist Nazi KKK fascists, you can't reason with them...", however something very different is happening.

They are fed up with the insults and ad hominems being the dominant form of discourse from the left . They are fed up with the spectrum of acceptable though being so increasingly narrowed by political correctness. Trump supporters are perfectly normal people whose political affiliation would be impossible for you to determine if they weren't explicitly expressed. When they hear Trump say something that is labelled offensive like "We're gonna build a wall and stop all illegal immigration", they think "that sounds a bit grandiose and unrealistic, however I do want someone who will stop illegal immigration" and they just put that idea in the back of their head.

But then the floodgates of harassment and ciclejerking burst open. The non-stop media insults, constant accustations of racist, misogynist, xenophobic, sexist, antisemite, homophobic and all the other buzzwords. They see their liberal friends posting on Facebook "UNFRIEND ME NOW IF YOU SUPPORT TRUMP YOU FUCKING NAZI RACIST IGNORANT BIGOT!". They see 19 year college liberals shouting "Trump is Hitler" all over places like Reddit. So just keep their mouth shut and this festers throughout the election cycle.

Then eventually they start to question the media and the establishment narrative. This is usually the point of no return. They quickly see how biased the MSM actually is, similar to what Bernie supporters are seeing with the blatant Hillary favoratism. They see how the media engages in "gotcha journalism", where they comb through dozens of 2 hours speeches to catch one or two sentences that sound bad on their own out of context, then make this the headline. They start to look at Trump's actual policies and may see many things they like. If they hear him saying something they don't like or don't support, the optimistic among them will think "This is just hyperbole to get everyone talking about this issue", and realize that Trump has written an entire book expressing a strategy of making grandiose statements in the media in order to anchor your position high, then negotiating down. Those who are the most pessimistic may think "Even if he is 100% literal, we still have checks and balances in our system, so it doesn't matter."

Yet the neverending circlejerking continues. The knee jerk emotional hostility to anything related to Trump makes people feel like they can't express their views in the land that prides itself on free speech. They watch the media proclaim how "This is the end of Trump's campaign" for the n+1th time, but at the same time they see how his popularity is rising, they see the huge turnouts at the rallies and realize that there are a massive amount of people who are just like them. The "silent majority" as you may have heard.

By now they are cognizant that Trump is fighting against some very established political forces, and that the media wants to maintain that status quo. He lets people say what is actually on their mind. So every media attempt to assassinate his character, every failed drumpf meme, every single downvote brigade, every insult, every Hollywood denouncement just further solidifies their motivation. They see that their vote has power and they are ready to make the current status quo sweat. Whether Reddit wants to admit it or not, Trump has tapped into a genuine vein of discontent against globalism and open borders, perfectly valid concerns that shouldn't be dismissed.

If you can have a civilized discussion without instantly hurling ad hominems and without knee jerk dismissing anyone with a different opinion, without labelling them Fox News watching racist sexist bigot troll shitlords, you may start seeing much better results.
