    I feel for you it can be pretty hard. I think part of the issue is that what they need is the next step toward understanding and showing more empathy. Rather than people explaining where they aren’t (hey why aren’t you on step 200 yet?) Unravelling the propoganda and culture you grew up with takes great effort. If you personally have tried and not succeeded then good on you

    My point here really is that posts like this don’t support the actions that do help, but simply vilify people who are misguided

    As an aside I was born and raised in Louisiana so I too have personal experience with right wingers. It can feel exhausting at times to get to people so entrenched in their ways, but it’s not impossible. I’m sorry your family is that way
