Things are getting bad to the point that ordinary people are not able to tune it out anymore, and the pundit class’ answer of vote is looking less and less compelling. Regular people are looking for explanations and guidance. Talk to them. They want to know what has worked in the past, and what can work now. They’re open to new ways of understanding the world, and we have that. Be accessible if you can.

    70 something year old dude who came into my office immediately after Trump’s win happily saying, “bye bye illegals. bye bye”, was talking to me yesterday about how he was going to be very upset if his coworkers get deported. Apparently somebody official looking was in the parking lot recently writing down / taking pictures of license plates at his work.
