Wow, that was an awesome rabbit hole, thank you for the link.

If you want to change someone’s mind, they have to see you as in-group.

Maybe a less manipulative-sounding way to phrase that might be that we should remind people that we’re all in it together. The far right media and their billionaire buddies have spent the past decade and a half dividing us, and they succeeded. Idk what it would take to unite this country again, but it at least is a little comforting to have a clear problem statement.
