people who actually get shit on neoliberal policies are the kinds of people we should be reaching out, not some shithead named Dave Bavelhoff who owns a jetski repair shop.

My parents are poor dumb trump diehards, my mom is on anti-psychotics and my father was abused all through his childhood by an adoptive father who didn't want him. The conservative propaganda got my dad first way before I was born, and they have had him for decades. My mom is ill and just goes along with my dad. You could probably help my mom still but not with my dad around. I can't fix him at this point, he's old.
However, that being said, there's plenty of people that you can reach before they get to that point. But if you don't do anything at all you have a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I just hate when lefties can't see my families suffering and why they became the way they are. I tend to think it's because they learned about the shit through a book rather than actually having any hard shit happen to them, known anyone who actually has... or instead just have cartoon caricatures of what they might think a Appalachian coal miner might be like.
FYI, I said earlier that I agree that you should just avoid right wingers if you have certain minority statuses. And no one is making arguments for people who are too far gone unless you think everybody is a nazi then you're a fucking idiot.
How do you think that your run of the mill right wing people will figure out that brown and trans people aren't the problem? How does one do that if they don't ever really interact with either? Who has to pick up that slack if people with certain minority statuses can't do it themselves? They can't just magically do it, that's not consistent with the idea of material conditions. Obviously your cracker lefties have to put in the work. Literally no one else can.
Instead of telling me stop arguing with my dad why don’t you put in more work with your parents and stop blaming other leftists for not doing that work for you?
You can't fix a stubborn broken 70 year old man and a woman on anti-psych meds. It is futile, I have tried, I have been trying, fuck you for suggesting I didn't.
You're a real heartless piece of illiterate shit. Go fuck yourself. What a horrible fucking thing to say to a comrade you shithead. Please go fuck yourself and fuck all the people like you.
You sound like you have a big problem feeling sorry for yourself and then you lash out and criticize others, good luck with that. I would never consider someone telling me who I must befriend a comrade. More a stupidpol user.
You're the one who is afraid of fucking right wingers to the point that you won't talk to them AND LIKELY HAS NEVER EVEN KNOWN ANY. You fucking cowardly little idiot, no one is telling you to be their fucking best friend.
More assuming from you. If this were to be a good faith discussion I would also share my family and friends dynamics, but since you just assume and go on rants because you feel sorry for yourself it ain’t worth it.

And that is how we get a stupidpol user banned.
I'm not a stupidpol user, and I'd rather be banned then deal with a fucking asshole like you. You're not an ally to the working class, just the cartoon ones you invisioned in your head who have coal smeared faces in Appalachia.
