Republicans are just being weird. This is the kind of solid messaging you get when the generation shifts.

@jsonbecker That sounds potentially very effective. It's simple, it's also not "the end of the world as we know it" type stuff which I suspect puts some people off (but may be wrong). And it's works for most policies.
@jsonbecker the shift since Kamala Harris has begun captaining the ship is palpable and wonderful to behold… if find weird soft peddles the situation with the Republicans a bit, but if it brings young folks on board i am for it…
@mbkriegh I think like @ChrisJWilson says, people sometimes shut down when you’re more direct and honest. And also, as terrible as it is, people don’t actually have empathy. They don’t feel the true threat of these policies against women or LGTBQ people or immigrants until they are the precise target themselves. But they can be sort of smacked into reality when you point out just how bizarre these ideas are when they’re allowed to reach their conclusion. Rather than saying, “yeah but that won’t happen, and if it does, it won’t happen to me,” when you say, “isn’t it weird they’re even saying that and having that idea?”— I think the response is going to be, “yeah, that’s true.”
