Today, he shared a reply from one of the liberals in his email list he'd sent it to. This person played the standard leftist response about the type of person she believes Pres. Trump is.
Here's what I sent back to him, in hopes that he would better understand what we conservatives are dealing with and are up against today in this highly toxic political environment that our President is now dealing with, and, most likely will continue dealing with as long as he's in office.

If I may provide some suggestions regarding responding to liberals like Sandra...
This is Dan Bongino's Two Golden Rules of Politics today:
Rule #1: We conservatives think liberals are people with bad ideas, while liberals think conservatives are bad people with ideas.
They are NOT attacking us on our ideas. How do we know this to be so? Because in 2014 Pres. Obama gave a speech about immigration which was almost EXACTLY like Pres. Trump gave recently about immigration (those wishing to seek asylum should ask for it in the first country they step into from theirs rather than going all the way to Texas to declare it), and what was the media's reaction then? Crickets! So, it's NOT about ideas, but that we're bad people. It is about attacking and diminishing "bad people". Therefore, go after Trump and his supporters with name calling, demeaning epitaphs, etc., but never have to apologize for any of it.
This is why Sandra responds the way she did. (And, notice that she essentially ignored the points that were in the S.S. message to the point of even admitting that "...maybe the Democrats did do all those things..." then goes on to make outrageously absurd claims about Trump's character; bad person with ideas that will threaten their effort to control their progressive move towards their concept of a "utopia", or bad idea that doesn't work and never will.)
"You can bet your ass I won't be sending this on!!! Maybe the Dems did do all those things, however, Trump wants to do even worse. Besides, he's a lecherous creep, a child killer, has no respect for women, a racist, and is, maybe, a criminal. It just hasn't been proven yet. Wait till he isn't president. AND, he is a major liar and giving away public land so big business, his buddies, can make even more money. It has never trickled down!! I'm done. I'm sending this on, back to you."
To them, this is about power, money, and controlling the narrative in politics! Yet, for us, it is about defending the principles which have provided the world a reason for nearly every other country to desire immigrating here for the benefits and opportunities it offers them. (How's that for irony?)
So, wasting your time replying to her the way you did is futile because they won't listen to "bad people". However, if you were to be saying such things in a conversation with a liberal who's arguing with you about something and it is in public, there would be value in doing so, because of the potential others who might be listening, or overhearing your discussion may realize that your points are making sense to them. This way, we can influence the thinking of those who ARE listening, and not viewing us as "bad people", but intelligent and articulate people with good ideas.
Rule #2: Liberals never get you to vote FOR them, they get you to vote AGAINST the other guy.
Were as conservatives have a platform that's been consistent for 40 or 50 years - economic freedom, personal freedom, school choice, pro-life, pro-second amendment rights, liberals do not. Liberals have been all over the map; Obama was against gay marriage, then he was for gay marriage. Obama was for asylum claims in other countries, now the Democrats are against it. You had Blue Dog Democrats who were for the 2nd Amendment in "swing states", who now can't stand the 2nd Amendment.
Democrat's platform changes all the time! Why? Because a platform is based on ideas, and again, they don't have any! They don't get you to vote for them, because they don't have a consistent set of ideas. They get you to hate the other guy, and that's where identity politics fills in the hole. They can't get you to hate the other guy's ideas. Why? Because they had the same ideas!!!
