If you push someone away because they voted for the wrong candidate or don't agree with you on some social cause, some fascist talking head on YouTube will be right there to swoop them up.

I feel that about my older boomer relatives and friends - they are very right wing, but they have more in common with leftists than the true interests of the Republican Party, and if they’d just stop believing dumb shit, they will be ready for a change (of whatever form that may take). They are also firm belivers in the second Amendment and drive large trucks. I wonder where the right will land on gun control if, heaven forbid, copy cat CEO killings occur.

We’ll see if they fall in line or if shit gets real, I guess?

Your right wing friends and family - their lived experience has proven that the system doesn't work for them, and they're rightfully pissed off.

My Trump loving relatives used to be Bernie supporters. If you can speak to what they already know - that our country is failing them and we need real change - they'll realize that we all have a lot more in common than the establishment gives us credit for.
