Jasper the Cat, Trump Supporters and Trump Victims

During Donald Trump's second term as President, I think Americans will have 2 big challenges.

How do we reach out to Trump supporters and address their legitimate concerns without falling down the rabbit hole of the MAGA alternate universe?

How do we defend vulnerable minority groups who are threatened by Trump's policies and his scapegoating?

I don't know how we can do both. But I think it's important to try, for our representative democracy can't function if people of differing views are unwilling to compromise and find areas of common ground.

I want to be able to fight Trump without dehumanizing Trump supporters. I have a strong belief that Trump will eventually betray and hurt his working class Trump supporters in much the same way that he'll hurt immigrants, transgender people, and other vulnerable groups.
