    Ok but that’s a reductive view of human beings. Average MAGA folks are uneducated and propagandized, but they aren’t evil and viewing them as such feeds into the culture war.

    You need to construct a vision of society that allows both to succeed. Everyone is struggling these days and you need to construct a society that values all people.

      wow, I guess you should tell them to stop being dicks instead of coming to leftwing spaces and telling us to hug the bullies.

        Lol I’m a leftist. If you want to be productive, you can’t push everyone out. You have to find common ground. Our society is breaking. Communism has plenty to offer most MAGA people. They just need to see it.

          I’m not pushing anyone out; I’m pushing OP (and you) to proselytize to the right wing and MAGA people.

        The point isn’t to cede ground and compromise with them. The point is to try to show them that they’ve been duped about who their enemies are. It might still take some time to deprogram them, but if we could at least get them to put that all on hold and focus on the class issue, maybe we can actually get somewhere instead of spinning in circles.

          I completely agree, what I was responding to was the person who said “we have to construct a vision of society that allows both succeed”
