In the short term, between now and the election, sure. Studies have shown people reject new information that contradicts an established belief. In the long term, it's possible to get people out of cults and fascist movements. But that takes a level of time and effort we no longer have.
Yes, this is the solution. We outnumber the fascists. We need to show it at the polls and vote for the Harris-Walz ticket.
You either missed my point or are ignoring it. Either way, I hope you are correct.
I mean, I addressed the second and third sections. The statements in the first section are tautological truisms. So I'm not sure what you mean.
I largely agree with your points, just not that there is no hope for these people on a long enough timescale. This was both preventable and is fixable. We just have to give ourselves the time to fix it.
I'm choosing to believe in people. It's the most useful outlook I can have.
