They are the weakest and loneliest among us, hence why they are so susceptible to even the dumbest of narratives. If it weren't for their hatred I'd feel pity for them. But what you're suggesting is no small feat, we would be up against literal decades of brainwashing.
Something I've noticed is that whenever a maga says their political take, simply asking them for details sends them into a rage, cuz they don't know any lol. Watch some Isaiah Thomas clips, the man has the patience of god. Maybe there's something in that we could use?
The more I see of the world, on a macro and micro level, the more I believe that the generational task young people will face is stepping into a dying world, the effects of which they did not cause, and be the ones to deal with every mess the boomers are leaving behind. And the only way they succeed in that, is together. And of course the world is seemingly as divided as ever right now.
What do you think?
