November 9 is going to be a tough day for Trumpsters, Fauxers, and our right-wing friends and relatives. It will be up to us to try to bring the disillusioned back into the warm embrace of “good America”.
I highly recommend a new article on HBR on this topic: “How to Build an Exit Ramp for Trump Supporters”, by Deepak Malhotra
Takeaways:
- Don’t force them to defend their beliefs.
- Provide information, and then give them time.
- Don’t fight bias with bias.
- Don’t force them to choose between their idea and yours.
- Help them save face.
- Give them the cover they need.
- Let them in.
A worthy read.
