The problem with that phrase was never about the personal beliefs of those who objected: it was all about the reactions of the intended audience.
Persuasion isn’t about having the correct opinion — it’s about understanding people unlike yourself. It involves setting your ego aside.

Why you’re focused on violence when 1/3 of adults didn’t even vote? Then add in all the voters who never have called a congressman or gone to a protest.
