I recommend Matthew 7:3.
It may be that a lot of people are unreachable. Note, the few issues where I am on the red side. I can’t change the opinions of many blues either. Prohibition will work this time. Right…
But look at how the conservatives have sided in previous crises. They hung firm on kings, slavery and fascism. I know that 20 / 20 hindsight is wonderful, and the history books are written by the victors, but I see the arrow of progress as being real. Those that try to hang on to power selfishly clinging to tribal thought are not remembered well. Equality is real, a virtue many hold as important. On issues like global warming, the economy, and the Coronavirus, respecting reality and science is a good thing.
But I have long thought this and similar 4T sites attract extremists. They are the people ready to listen and contribute when they find a theory that major changes in culture can occur, in fact do occur at regular intervals.
At best, you can swing a few people who keep an open mind.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
