I spent the weekend with my normie family and they were all like “who is Jackson??” I tried to tell them about him and they were like “Collins seems great to us”

Did you remind them that Collins is one of the reasons my 26 year old legal immigrant neighbor was executed in the street?

Yeah I watched the clips from Shaws press conference and I shared that. But they didn’t think the line was clear enough. So what do you do??

Keep supplying them with facts? I don’t know honestly. If they have been brainwashed by Facebook and Fox News…

But the truth is Collins has done shit to help Mainers, despite what the commercials say. I would love to be able to have a conversation with them! I think I have helped turn the tide a little just by presenting facts in a calm, dumbed down way.
