The scary part for me is not the Presidency. It’s that these sorts of gymnastics are not isolated to their politics. It’s that they actually believe that they are right. And if anyone opposes them is not worth considering. It’s a total divide in even seeing another person’s perspective as equalily valid.
Lefty American with some righty acquaintances. I’m able to crack their mental images of certain insane topics, like immigration, taxes, and birth control. But they’re immediately sucked back in when they go home and run on Facebook, OANN, Fox and similar online/media. It’s really frustrating, but I’m gonna keep pressing where I see soft spots. Social engineering for politics is possible, but it’s very steep uphill battle.
