This is because some chuds are working class and just hate liberals but don’t know that socialists exist.
Liberals tend to be wealthier, so they have more invested in the system.
Old-fashioned conservatives also tend to be loaded, which likewise means that few would ever convert.
Thoughts? I wasted my day arguing with a bunch of libs on reddit. The only chud I talked with just told me he’s going to check out Revolutionary Left Radio. He started the conversation by almost threatening to kill me but changed his tone very quickly when I busted out my socialist clichés. The libs, meanwhile, just kept twisting their brains into pretzels.
I actually agree. In a lot of cases, chuds are single issue voters. If that issue is guns, we got guns. If that issue is privacy, we got privacy. If that issue is immigration or abortion, you will have a harder time. Most are just "I wanna grill, dammit" types, and if you can somehow make an appeal to emotion about environment and how it effects their job or something, it might work. I also agree with trying to come at it from a working class angle.
I can't ever get a lib to criticize their own side, but I got a chud to agree that (by their estimation) trump fits 8 out of 10 of the hallmarks of fascism that I laid out for them.

The approach I’ve been trying involves talking about how the fed can just generate money out of thin air to pay for whatever we want. I haven’t gone this far with anyone, but I would say that to combat climate change we’re actually going to have to move everyone into cities and allow people to leave inhospitable environments. I don’t think chuds would give a fuck about that until after their conversion however. An anarchist I know who’s all about living in nature also had trouble with that, but cities use far less carbon than rural areas, so it seems like something pretty massive that we’re going to have to do. I believe China has also spent an incredible amount of time and money moving its population into cities.
Yeah, it's the ol'
A banker, an immigrant and a conservative voter are sitting at a table. There are ten cookies on the table. The banker takes nine, and turns to the conservative and says "watch out, that immigrant is coming for your cookie"
So many libs' only experience with immigrants is interacting with their nannies, gardeners, waitstaff, etc. And they act uncomfortably woke all the time talking shit about Trump and trying to act like they are just all homies in the same boat. Then the lib goes back inside and gets on a zoom call trying to figure out what their company actually does while they make $180k while the immigrant outside perfectly manicures their local flora sustainable garden in sweltering heat for a few dollars.
