Or you can just tell the primarily fear motivated idiots to be afraid of things, and then their brains stop working, they just don’t like the scary thing and want scary thing to suffer because scary thing is bad.
You can’t win an argument with an idiot; they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Remember the whole… they go low, we go high, rhetoric?
Assanine. Literally an in-group signalling feel good hugbox measure, doesn’t actually work at all on the out group. Vanity and smugness as a strategy, a strategy that repeatedly fails in a political system that is rigged to over represent the local yokel ya’ll qaeda types, and is rigged to disenfranchise the working poor and minority groups of all kinds.
You think that you’re playing an unrigged game, for some reason, maybe because thats a comforting thing to hold onto, that democracy is inevitable and rules and norms are just and eternal, because they seem nice and fair to you.
Well guess what?
We got 1/3 of the country that effectively gets 1/2 the voting power.
The game isn’t fair, the rules are always changing, and this 1/3 of people would and literally has willingly voted to destroy democracy itself and replace it with tyranny.
You gotta change the rules you are willing to play by… if the real game is how you rig the apparent game, you need to think outside your comfort zone, or just admit defeat right now.

That is nice and all but I don’t live in America. The same/similar arguments are not US specific.
