Like, talking to someone who doesn’t anxiously follow the news is really, really different than posting! You have to remember that they’re probably hearing every idea you share for the first time

There is immense privilege in being able to keep your head in the sand and stay uninformed. As a POC I just don’t have the patience to wait or listen to white people gripe about their dollar not going far enough at this point. “But my eggs!” I just can’t take it anymore. May they live their truths.
Change happens slowly, on the scale of years. And when people change, they mostly don’t realize it. They’ll often say “No, I always believed this.” But it does happen, often after many small, trustworthy corrections from several different people. Almost never after a blow-up or getting dunked on.
Yeah too true. A lot of people have effectively sorted themselves out of being influenced. But I know I’ve got friends and family members that have, e.g., mixed feelings about RFK because they distrust medical institutions, who have a libertarian cowboy streak, etc
