@Seek do you mean by engaging with non-liberals? I don’t know, some of the best people I know are Trump supporters. I don’t agree with them, but they’re good people. They aren’t hateful, they certainly aren’t nazis, they’re mostly blue collar hard working people trying to make a living and take care of their family just like everyone else. But, I’m not even talking about Trump supporters, I’m talking about the majority of people who didn’t vote or who were unhappy with their options. I made the mistake of thinking it was because of the opposition to progressive politics (which I think is a big part of it, especially a fear of socialism/communism, but it’s not the whole picture.) It’s not that Clinton was too progressive, it’s that people believe that she’s corrupt, and people were tired of the same shit coming out of Washington that does little to help the people in the middle. I live in an area that has been economically depressed for my entire life, jobs are scarce, poverty is high and it’s a swing state, so politicians love to come here and make big promises and a lot of people are sick of hearing the same smooth talk over and over again while they struggle to find work. If you’re poor, you can get assistance. If you work hard, you can’t get assistance, but you can barely scrape by and watch your neighbors who don’t work live a better life than you. I’m not suggesting that I’m against assistance (far from it), but it’s also not hard at all to see how people can feel jaded and let down and eventually desperate for something different. The shit that spews from religious Fox News’ viewers is toxic, but I don’t believe for one second that they represent the majority of Americans. I just also think that it may be an illusion that if they aren’t the majority, we are, and I’m not so sure that’s accurate.
