I agree with you. But a subject I explore in a lot of my essays, and for which I don’t have answers, is that so many people not only don’t agree with us, but actually feel that this administration is addressing inequities. They’re just different inequities than you and I might see, and they apply a different sense of logic to their world view. It boggles my mind. How do we reach them?
Well, if they're Fox News culture war inequities -- like women and POC getting DEI "special treatment," or undocumented immigrants having jobs when they don't, or Christians not having "freedom of religion" when it involves not giving marriage licenses to LGBTQ folks -- then I think they've basically been fabricated to exploit people's hatred and grievances, and hopefully getting them out of their conservative media bubble with actual facts will help. (That's what I try to do with my in-laws.) If the inequities stem from income inequality, I think they are slowly going to realize that this administration is not actually addressing their concerns.
With the latter, I agree. With the former, I feel it’s a psychopathy based on fear and racism. Their brains are wired differently than ours. Our logic cannot reach most of them. We only need to reach enough to tip the scales. IMO. Anyway, we keep trying. We keep writing
