It can take months for them to adjust to one another. Sometimes a full year before they're comfortable sitting next to each other. Make sure the scared one has a safe space to retreat to and put a calming diffuser close by. Ideally the safe space also has food and water too.

The ratchet effect is an easy go to and I almost referred to it myself, but its a very non materialist framing. I think a better explainer is how the contradictions of liberalism cannot hold and eventually come undone.

If AOC against odds actually came into office in '29, and at best dems win a simple majority in Congress because the electoral map deck is so stacked, they still have to contend with a 6-3 conservative supreme court plus thousands of conservative justices in the system, a gigantic fully funded immigration terror apparatus, completely stripped to the bone non-functional institutions, and countless EOs and bills to overturn or replace.

In the most rosy scenario a progressive wing works with the moderates to rollback or fix, what... 25% of all of this?

I don't think this is quite what you're asking for, but A People's Guide to Capitalism by Hadas Their really helped me understand Capital. I believe an audiobook is available too.

Okay peter piper

 

Almost posted this to /c/slop for the cognitohazard but these '20 biden to '24 trump voters really are just lost souls that maybe deserve some :gasp: empathy and outreach

Katrina, a 53-year-old independent voter, said it was hard to put into words why she's so anxious, but she knows she is.

"I feel anxious that nothing has really changed," she said. "I mean, Trump talks about this 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' but, it's like, I don't see any difference. In my life, I don't."

Like yes this is leopards ate my face content, but on the other hand:

Melody, a 37-year-old independent, added: "I wouldn't immediately think bad of someone. I would want to talk a little bit more about it with them because … to me, they're at least trying to think of a solution where everybody has rights and everybody has food, everybody has a house, everybody has a job. They're at least looking for something like that for everyone."

Marianne, a 57-year-old independent voter, said she thinks traditional Democrats are "more centrist" and cater to more corporate interests.

"But they also care about the people as well, the working people," she said. "Whereas socialist Democrats are more about community."

 

Now put that in your pipe and smoke it

 

And then for right wing mediasphere to proclaim that this was a bunch of rugged, anti-tax individualists that rose up against the "woke" aristocracy and the "deep state" church
