Never. When I have moths in my closet, I research what they like and what they dislike, and I don’t resort to yelling at them.
You’re calling me naive, but that’s your approach to politics? Of course we must not make concessions to them, or get dragged into a discourse normalizing their racism. But every single Trump supporter who can be convinced not to vote for him again is a tiny victory. Let him still be a racist prick, you don’t have to get chummy with him, but get into his thick head and give him a reason to stay at home in November 2020.
edit: I’m not talking about those:
fuck them. but that’s not the 60-odd million people who voted for Trump. If you have only one moral category for all of them, that’s fine with me. But I don’t think you can do politics effectively without making at least a tactical difference between the totally disgusting and the slightly-less-disgusting.
