Another twist....
I have added a little bit to your perspective. If you have researched things like the Southern Strategy or the history of the KKK, this is a good thing, even if you try to pick up things from ideological sources. This shows a willingness to learn and to adjust. This is good.
The problem is that the opposite is not true. I am familiar enough with history and the red perspectives that nothing you have suggested has been a surprise. Thus, no changes or improvements in my perspective. All that is left is the personal attacks, and those too are way off base. As I don’t recognize myself, they miss entirely. I am not for instance in a state of confusion due to your unique version of cognitive dissonance. That response is entirely a fiction of your imagination.
The difference is in accurately understanding rival ways of looking at things. If you depend on your ideology to tell you what blues typically think, you are going to miss entirely. You might try actually listening to what the other guy says. It allows you to respond effectively.
Try it. It might make you less of a pariah.
