You know, I agree with you, but we’re already on the same team. Keep in mind though, we aren’t trying to change the minds of the few powerful and evil motherfuckers who want us all dead. It can’t be done. We want the average person to side with us, and the average person builds logical arguments around their emotions, not the other way around.
The average person is not a murderous freak and being made out to be one simply because they aren’t on board with something they don’t understand will absolutely harbor negative sentiment. They aren’t going to be discerning and they are going to take this to be about them. And like I said, then the logical arguments get built around that negative sentiment. Then they start voting, and so on.
I’m not saying calm down, because you shouldn’t. But red-hot messaging does not help. Turn the temperature down and you’ll see more people agreeing with you who, importantly, didn’t already agree with you BEFORE they read your message.
I feel like we already did that, that whenever there was push back we had stepped back and turned down the fire. That people presented logical and reasonable information, whenever possible. I think the problem is by turning down the fire then we allowed rich conservatives to control the narrative. Then we allowed them to say that “we can fix the economy (that we broke) but you have to abandon your morals and these people here that you honestly don’t care about”. That was good enough there were a bunch of people that really said “that’s fucked up but get gas under $2 again” and they voted for them.
I’m saying it now we need to drag those people. Shame them because gas never got below $2. I don’t need them to understand , what I need is for them to say they is that, they’re not a doctor, therapist, social worker, etc. so they have no valid opinions or facts. They’re not Lgbt+ they’re sure as hell not trans or a trans parent, they signed on with hate and they made everything worse for everyone. And we can’t make them forget it, if they could learn from positive messaging it would have already worked. If logic worked then they’d have already realized that in the last 3 decades every fucking time there’s been a large amount of Republicans in control everything generally gets worse if you’re an average mother fucker. And part of it is these fucking tax breaks that keep getting approved. The other part is voting in general which is why they’ve done everything in their power to make it impossible in some places.
I don’t need them to agree with me , I need them to agree to mind their own business and keep that torture shit in their own cult.
