This is correct but it's delusional to think saying this to them would work. They need to be deeply afraid to express their opinions. They're dug in and if this year taught us anything it's that they aren't convincible. The only realistic path forward is to make them fearful. Ridicule isn't enough. They need to be afraid if they voice their opinions. Afraid for their reputations, afraid for their careers, and afraid for their very lives. If they aren't afraid at that level then we'll only sink farther. Them not getting laid isn't nearly enough. They should live terrified that people will find out who they really are, and they must be afraid at the highest level.

EDIT: Reading this back I realize how this sounds, I'm NOT saying that anyone should take that kind of action, but when Sherman matched to the sea, that kind of fear was the goal and it briefly worked. Likewise after the civil rights movement. It's nothing more than the tolerance paradox.
