    I’m doing my part, but as long as mainstream parties don’t address these voters and their fears and woes with their policies in a way that’s not genocidal nazi dog whistles all day every day, it might just be a losing battle at this point.

      How do you rationally address irrational fears which were created by the right wing parties? I have the feeling that the voters you want to address really believe their fears are rooted in reality.

        That’s a very valid and good question. I don’t have an answer.

        All I know is that villifying these voters simply hardens their resolve, and appeasement is an even worse course of action, as it validates them in their beliefs.
