But how do you convince people to do that?
You apparently don't. Not in America. That's the problem.
(Unless you believe a very obviously not stolen election was stolen. Then I guess it's collective action time.)
If people got convinced to vote for a nazi, couldnt they be convinced the other way?
Also, this is a global problem, not just in the USA
It's not likely. MAGA republicans are so entrenched in their beliefs that it's incredibly difficult, especially since half of what they're peddling is religiously motivated.
You have to somehow get past those two very thick layers of brainwashing to get anywhere. They think giving in is an attack on both their religion and their children ("they're gonna trans our kids!" or whatever).
Couldn't they? Possibly. Will Americans do the hard work it takes? Almost certainly not.
Is convincing people collective action?
If this doesnt work, what else is there to do?
Who do you think is going to convince them at this point?
