there are thousands and thousands of median voters who have no idea what’s going on in politics and figure a vote for trump was the same as a vote for bernie was the same as a vote for clinton and so on. It doesn’t make them bad it makes them overworked, ignorant, tired or poorly educated.
God, I do so love reading liberal apologia. Fascism is at your door and all you can do is cry about how people aren’t doing enough to understand them.
The main problem is that, even more so than the past, people’s politics is their identity.
It’s their family, their church life, their friends, and possibly even their neighbors if they live in a particularly conservative area. The same is true for liberals.
Trying to change them is quite literally like trying to change how they were raised, who they associate with, etc. In some cases, they may even be ostracized for “changing sides” if people found out.

Tell me, how does one go about changing a fascist?

It’s just not feasible.
