    Yep, it’s easy to be mad at them because they’re hateful people

    But we’ll never out hate conservatives. If we try we’re doing exactly what the people telling them what to think want.

    It’s like with prisoners, we focus on punishment rather than rehabilitation. And it works out horribly.

    If we actually want to fix America (and it sure as shit looks like we’re running out of time) we need to focus on what works best, not what feels best.

    Like that Black dude who’s gotten over 100 KKK members to renounce their racist ways. He doesn’t yell at them, he talks to them and wears them down.

    It’s not easy, and it’s more than they deserve, but it works.

    And if something works, than that’s what we should be doing.

    The first step is getting them out of their bubble.
