There's one thing I think you missed: some people actively don't want to learn. They will absolutely refuse to read anything, even a summarized version of a given topic, if it doesn't back their world view up. So having a curated feed of "yes, you're right" is better than "you're wrong about this."

Pete's a great speaker, for sure. One worry I have is that him being gay might turn off too many moderates. I couldn't care less, but the last election came down to not paying for tarrifs vs anti-LGBTQ+ rights, and the people chose anti-LGBTQ+.

My wife and I tried. When pressed on how legal immigrants can prove to ICE that they're legal, we got a response "Well they'll have paperwork proving they're here legally."
Literally "show them your papers".
How do you combat facism when your family actively wants it?

You and Mark Cuban run together. I know there are some things you two don't think about, but I think you both can figure out some compromises that you think most Americans would benefit from.
