Good! Let's work to keep the momentum going and encourage everyone you know to boycott Twitter/X. If you still use Twitter/X make a post saying you can find me on Lemmy/Bluesky/Mastodon or whatever website/app you choose to replace it.

Don't let Elon Musk control you and your country, stop Twitter/X now!

Good! Let's accelerate this trend. If you have friends or family still using X tell them to delete their account.

It's true. It's often said that Trump frequently uses this method.

it’s important to redirect negative thoughts and feelings, but you have to do this without jumping to condescending or infantilising language.

So much this! I used to be a Trump supporter myself and I've made some people angry because of my previous political views. I got yelled at for what I said. Even though in hindsight their reaction was somewhat justified all that did was reinforce my views and dig a deeper hole.

I get what you mean there. I hope they have improved their security since then.

I researched this exact question. There is a way called deep canvasing https://www.vice.com/en/article/how-to-change-a-voters-mind-is-deep-canvassing/

It's scientifically proven. Try having a one on one conversation with someone. Listen to what they say and respond with empathy. Then gradually and calmly introduce your message that is related to what they said. For example if the person you are talking to said they are worried about grocery prices and specifically egg prices you could mention that bird flu was the root cause of the price increase and that Trump's tariffs will raise prices on groceries. Building trust helps your message get across. I've had personal conversations with Trump supporters who trust me and you'd be surprised how much success you can have.

Wikipedia explains who they are very well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiveSendGo

GiveSendGo is a Christian crowdfunding website.[5] GiveSendGo has attracted controversy for allowing far-right extremists to fundraise, including neo-Nazis, white supremacists and hate groups.[15]

They have also had multiple security breaches.

Amazon has lots of money and they can easily afford this PR/marketing promotion that they choose to do. Amazon drivers work hard and deserve to be paid fairly for their work. Even though this is just marketing it still results in the drivers getting more money so if you order something from Amazon you might as well do it at every opportunity you get.

It's a fascist propaganda technique. The ene­my is both strong and weak.

I'm very glad they did that! Now can we please do it here in the US too? We also had a big Russian interference problem.
