    ive recently tried to think of it as an anthropologically study. what do these people really believe? what are their limits to the cypto-fascism that they follow. i suppose in your guy, it might just be obviously, on its face, "all of it." these days I have to deal mostly with libs, which can be a bit more subtle. so my new plan is gentle leading questions (if i don't get too frustrated first; had one being a slave apologist and i almost walked out).

      I pretend to be totally culturally illiterate around the chuds I work with, they fill me in on all current events. I made them explain the "Black anthem" during the NFL season starting. My best one is acknowledging how close this election was despite the vote rigging, then suggesting some political gesture like legalizing marijuana or another stimulus check would have probably been enough to get Trump the win.

          Lift Every Voice and Sing. The guy freaking out about it did not even know the name, the look on his face when I asked was priceless. He then went on a rant that being a black athlete is a special privilege and Lebron James and Jussie Smollet are ruining the labor market by enticing young black men into the entertainment industry and instead they should get blue collar jobs because their "physical" prowess makes them well suited for it. Then if they live humble lives instead of acting like victims they will be able to start a nuclear family and stay out of prison. Ya know, the usual talking points.

            Oh, I thought it was some weird shit about changing the national anthem to be "blacker" or something lol. Love the race science aspect to convincing young athletes to turn their "physical prowess" to blue collar jobs though.

          They were livid that I didn't understand that cancel culture is bad. I just corrected them and said it sounds a lot like a boycott that effectively made a company cave to their demands, it's the invisible hand of the market at work.
