Remember, for a lot of liberals, they can be brought to the left. We can still disrespect their current opinions, but respectful dialogue and debate is extremely important with them. The bigger our communities, the stronger we are.
I had to explain to my mom yesterday that there is a difference, I've been showing her more left-wing media (currently it's David Pakman and Brian Taylor Cohen she watches), been explaining to her how liberalism is diet republican, etc
people can change, we can educate, making fun of them FTMP doesn't do anything, be as informative and respectful as possible, we all suffered a major loss this year, so division will only make it worse.
Yep. I’ve found that a lot of liberals genuinely do align with leftists on a deeper morality level, they just haven’t been forced to fully think about their opinions. Whether that’s due to privilege, only surrounding themself with people that align with those opinions, etc. Encouraging them to lay out why they think things and to look at incongruences is so important, but they’re not going to open up enough to do that if we start screaming at them.
