We’re wanting to talk out of differing opinions and show families friends and siblings that you can have differing opinions and still love each other. She’s a maniacal genius and she’s going to try to bury me. I’m looking for as many Pedes as I can get to audio and or video conference to listen to her and type responses to me to help red pill our listeners. She’s good. Gonna need all the help I can get.

The only way I’ve had any breakthrough with libs is to mirror their thought process. For example, if their motive is to prevent some kind of human suffering (emotional angle) counter them with the emotional suffering consequence of their position.
For example— illegals immigrants have nowhere left to go, these people are suffering, blah blah. Okay, well what about the people in their home countries? And adjacent issue— what about brain drain? How is that benefitting these peoples’ cultures and countries? If we accommodate a bandaid solution, we are kicking the can down the road (which is what’s been happening) instead of encouraging better global policy to where those immigrants shouldn’t NEED to leave their countries and illegally enter ours. Sloppy examples but you get the idea.
(So many problems now are the consequence of America being a little codependent enabler.)
But yeah, if you use emotional language and viewpoints, that is their lingua franca, if you will. Even the ones who pretend to be all facts and science-y are still fully motivated by emotional charge. They can’t understand the philosophical viewpoint that human suffering is inevitable, and something we need to accept to a degree. Pointing out how their viewpoints can “hurt other peoples’ feelings” will really put them in buffering mode because they’ve come to associate only right wing people with hurting others’ feelings. It will be an, “oh shit, am I the villain in my own story?” moment.
