    I think there’s potential to do that, especially if you go for the roots of their outrage, which can have legitimate sources, such as “I worked hard all my life and I keep getting fucked over” before it gets steered into “it’s because of the (slurs)” channels.

      Right, like I think there is sincere merit to “meeting them where they’re at” and holding off on telling them “oh by the way, did you know EVERYTHING you were told by Fox News, the internet, and church was a lie?”. I don’t mean just doing tailism and coddling them, but realizing that not every grillman is a hedonistic CHUD. Anyone that lacks that curiosity and is just itching for the next ammo to use against minorities we can fully write off.
