people who actually get shit on neoliberal policies are the kinds of people we should be reaching out, not some shithead named Dave Bavelhoff who owns a jetski repair shop.

    I have dozens of chud relatives who are critical of capitalism and both parties but still voted for Trump twice.

    They've never said anything racist or sexist in my presence and I think a lot of them are reachable.

      There's a difference between backwards (but not completely brainwashed) relatives and people who march and brawl for fascism.

        Yes, this is true.

        I still don't write anybody off, but we shouldn't be targeting them (the second group you mentioned) specifically. I do think people can be pulled from the brink though and always try and engage if the opportunity presents itself.
