Who does it help when we make those kinds of assumptions about people? I can tell you this- it's nobody on our side of the fight.

What if she had seen the headlines about the BLM co founder buying multiple mansions and started to question the organization? What if she hadn't? What if this patron could have been the one to start the ball rolling in her awakening?

I was a fairly deeply entrenched liberal at one point, and behavior like OPs would have absolutely just further cemented my views about conservatives. I pointlessly wrote in Bernie for president for goodness' sake, lol.

The thing that truly helped me understand that what I had been told about conservatives was untrue was the kindness afforded to me by the conservatives I came in contact with. Kindness can go a long way in breaking down walls, fren.

We can either be the ones to break through the brainwashing and show that we aren't the monsters CNN says we are, or we can prove them right. It's your call, but I know from lived experience what the more effective approach is, and I think most of us know that deep down. It can feel good to be vindictive and hateful, but it only serves to damage our movement and our reputation as a group.
