    I understand your point, and I agree to a degree that once you find out a person is ignorant on purpose, or worse that they know the facts and embrace them, then let them have it. But I can’t see it being constructive to attack anyone before you know where they really stand, and unfortunately sometimes that takes some interaction and “good faith”. Let them dig the hole first before you bury them.

    I’m just trying to avoid being a false dichotomy on the issue. People are more than a caricature of red or blue. Hell, part of the Republican plan is to make the peons fight with each other and not talk to each other, it works for them to create this image of the evil liberal.

    Pick your fights. Some aren’t worth fighting. Some are.

      if we were to end up in a christofascist dictatorship with trump wielding unlimited absolute power, what would you have done differently?

        Talk to more people? Presuming it was a problem with voters showing up. I can’t see how me getting just a few people to vote blue instead of red or not at all is a problem leading to that scenario. Unless I miss your point.

        If it’s vote stealing or another insurrection attempt, certainly that’s a looming danger, but I didn’t get that meaning from your question.

          how many people have you converted so far?

            It’s not conversion, but just more getting people to think beyond what they’re being fed. That I know of (or rather, what they’ve said) possibly two or three.
