    If we want the world to be a better place than it absolutely is our job. Conservatives see it as a job to brainwash and create propaganda.

    We should see it as a job to bring these people back from the edge, and to reintegrate them with society. Ignoring them, and blaming them, will continue to make the problem worse.

      When an entire segment of the population that are maga nutso Christian nationalist want me to not even exist, no it’s not my job. It’s not my job at all to educate fully formed adult humans who have the breath of all information of the entire world at their fingertips but they refuse to expand their minds and use it.

        The cycle will continue then, and nothing will ever get better. You can’t hope for things to get better without also putting the work forward to make those changes.

        You want them to think you should exist? Then emotionally appeal to them and remind them that you’re a person. This only really works on the ones you know anyways, but if no one ever steps up to teach them, then you can’t expect them to ever change.
