"The masses are reactionary on this issue, so we shouldn't be too progressive on it to avoid alienating them"

That's not what I fuckin said, how many times do I need to use the words "counter-messaging" and "primed" before you get what I'm lying down? If I wanted to say we should follow the public's reactionary lead on covid, I would just say so

Instead I'm talking about CHANGING that reactionary sentiment so that combating covid not just in our orgs but in society in general becomes easier, telling the average American dipshit they have long covid is not catering to the anti-mask agenda and castigating a bunch of morose liberals who seem to think demoralizing is best practices in terms of combatting covid denial is not me dismissing the concerns of the disabled

I'm literally saying we need to change the public's opinion on something so our goals become more realizable and you're calling me a fuckin tailist over it, that's funny

Again, the difference between an OUGHT and an IS, and what to do about the IS, so we can get to your OUGHT in a way that doesn't involve your dreams
