    I do this all the time. I talk genuinely and calmly about politics with people that are interested. The way you are phrasing things is the same way my 74 year old grand mother who binges fox news all day (as much as a retired woman can) phrases things. This is a media problem. Not a individual people problem.

      sure. the media probably has made it impossible to get through to people, although they were pretty impossible to get through to in the south long before the rise of fox news, so it’s possible that they were the egg that hatched conservative media. i don’t know and i don’t care how to talk to them at this point. there isn’t time left for diplomatic solutions. they just need to get out of the way and i don’t care how it gets done.
