    this is some sort of advanced strain of homophobia

      It was extremely confusing. I replied with something like “an entire government full of Petes would have similar results” to which she rather quickly replied that “people in positions don’t change the system.” It surprised me that she surmised what I was saying but I doubt she internalized the critique.

      She’s a typical lib who is boisterously anti-Trump but mostly because of the form of his politics rather than the substance.

        i swear those people are a lost cause, the anti-trump fever has melted their brains into rancid soup and there's no hope of recovery

          She did at one point ask me, likely the only commie in her life, "where do we go from here?" She knows how shit the US is but lacks a materialist framework to contextualize and analyze it. Even then it is difficult to broaden the scope of people's imagination where things outside of the prescribed bounds is utopian or totalitarian.

            sounds like she might be salvageable then, despite my incredible cynicism

            building that framework for someone (or helping them do it themselves, ofc) is one of the hardest jobs a communist can take on. every step you help her take brings us one step closer to another comrade, so i'm rooting for your success
