If you’re trying to reason someone out of an opinion they didn’t reason themselves into, you’re not gonna do anything but act as a straw man for people to make into whatever they want to attack
Yes, it’s absolutely vital to reach across the isle and offer understanding and share knowledge, but you’re also up against a national propaganda system that is universally accessible.
The only two real avenues of change are
people getting negatively affected enough that the wealthy may potentially lose their status quo so they’re willing to capitulate to the middle class in a small way that keeps their illusion intact
Or, you are able to humanize yourself and your views in a way that successfully removes the difference between left/right culture war and reframe it as a top/bottom class war.
Usually best accomplished by demonstrating that most people want the same things and aren’t as different as Media tries to make us. This realization will also be worn down over time in the face of (now) every media source available inventing realities to explain how everything is correct, going to plan, and paradise is just over one more horizon of tax cuts, austerity, and diminished rights.
So you disagree with the JFK quote, is essentially what you’re saying.
I think there are plenty on the left who felt their way into their opinions (that’s often how people find their world views), and also are emotional in how they operate or interact when disagreement happens.
But I do agree money is part of how people vote too.
Everything I wrote was completely neutral. The response and outcome would be the same if it was either idealogy approaching the opposite to broker understanding/peace/unity.
Ever wonder why media always inflame culture wars but never tries to bring people together?
Interesting that you would interpret it the way you did. Maybe try considering other viewpoints and experiences when forming an opinion you’re confident enough to write down and share.
I also recommend re-reading something to make sure you understand what is being said. You seem to be filling in any blanks with personal opinion and experience to understand the subject matter instead of properly taking in and interpreting the content correctly.
