The real, no shit, out in the world chud with a punisher skull on his truck is not who I am referring to, and you and I both know they are a lost cause. Things are also a bit different anymore. In the 80s and 90s it would have been near fucking impossible to convince a westerner that any ounce of anti-capitalism was the way forward. The game is changing today, people are becoming more skeptical. The unreachable chuds that are going further off the deep end are doing so because they think it will solve their life problems.
also, anybody who is a white guy having conversations with republicans is not reporting accurate data. anybody who has had to interact with conservative white men as a not white man can easily confirm this.
Not sure what you are insinuating about this. If you referring to my friend I mentioned, he is black, and his militant attitude is why he is confrontational. My personal experience when conversing with co-workers is not that they are going to be told one thing and change their mind permanently, as they will just be re-programed the moment they go back to listening to their media. The point I am trying to make is that in the moment it is sometimes easier to talk to Republicans about these issues. People's politics don't always operate on a smoothly sliding scale. Which again I can speak from experience that talking with some Democrats can bring out how right-wing they actually are when you start asking fundamental questions. The most hard-headed co-workers I have had these conversations with are people who solidly and proudly vote Democrat. They truly have stars in their eyes that things work.
Also I understand that my own anecdotal experiences may not match yours, but please don't assume you understand mine better than I do. It isn't a "miscalculation" when a Republican co-worker genuinely asks me how universal healthcare is supposed to work and by the end of the conversation, they can at very least see how it works.
