But also, if your view is that you can’t reason with, or educate a conservative - then why the fuck did you post this JFK quote saying you can?
It’s not conservatives who are the target for education here. Like most viruses, conservatism cannot be reliably cured; only vaccinated against. You don’t destroy a generation’s worth of conservatism by convincing all the conservatives to support the rights of women and minorities; you destroy it by educating the next generation to not make the mistake of their parents and grandparents. And as long as we fail to do that, democracy will remain in peril.
Whose we? Where do you make these interventions? Places young people hang out? What like, 4chan, 8chan, and places Jordan Peterson fans go? Places like that …
… because Trump won with low income and low education voters, not people going to college, so I hope that’s not what you meant. He did well with young men too.
So again not sure what your saying lines up against anything I said, regardless of you immediately downvoting my every comment.
I only downvoted your second comment, man. The rest I felt were contributions to the conversation, even if I disagreed with them, so I didn’t downvote.
The answer is to build up and go after the common enemy(the wealthy). Don’t bother arguing that they are wrong; provide answers that feel right. Get them to hate Republicans and hate the rich, a group with much overlap. Get the Republicans to do things that piss off their supporters. Provide answers to why things are fucked, let them figure out the solution.
Provide a STRONG cause to fight for. Throw the liberal establishment under the bus and assume they’ll be of no help. They’re too cowardly to agree to compromise wealth, so let them tag along because they need us more than we need them. That’s how Trump took over. The left must become independent and wield power outside of the Democrats, resisting any attempt to domesticate our movement.

That doesn’t answer anything I just asked, you’re not saying how or with what you disagree. You’re answers aren’t coherent.
So where are you saying these interventions should happen if his young supporters are low income, low education voters?
… and how should they happen of “you can’t reason someone out of an opinion they didn’t reason their way into?”
…and if you think that, then why the JFK quote?
