I don't feel like posting all that's been said in the political sphere the last couple of days, but the video below gives a quick summary. The thing is, the choice is so clear, the outcome so obvious that only a child or a lunatic could waver between the two candidates.

This could be the last election you will ever get to vote in.

The choir has heard the sermon for nearly 10 years. We believe. But have the people in the cult been converted? That’s a tough nut to crack.
You're right. Tribalism + fanaticism + leader-worship is impervious to sweet reason. The will to believe - even to believe a lie - can be more powerful than ties of love or friendship or common humanity. Now this is true on the right and on the left, which is why no one side should ever have all the power; I believe in the via media myself.
I don't have an answer or antidote for this terrible problem; all I can do is broadcast the truth as I see it here on the BT to my 3 or 4 regular truckbuddies, and the occasional drive-by reader, and hope for the best. A candle in the wind, perhaps; but a small light in the darkness is better than none at all.
