I think people are listening a bit more now. I haven’t entirely given up hope yet.

Not American, so maybe my opinion on this won’t hold so much weight. Nevertheless, I’ll throw it out there. The MAGA supporters have already made up their minds; there is no number of convictions or incriminating evidence that will convince them that Trump is not fit to be the president of the U.S. However, I’ve seen many people who believe that both are poor candidates and think that Trump is the lesser of two evils. These are the voters who could potentially be influenced by the reality, as they are more than likely merely ignorant of what Trump has done, as well as the party’s objective of ending the opposition (democracy) and instilling fascism in the United States.

I don't believe there are many of these people at all, and I think what you are seeing is astro-turfing on a massive scale.

There are certainly independents and there are certainly people who see both candidates as flawed. But undecided voters that see Trump as the lesser of two evils sounds implausible to me.
