They started it by dehumanizing me.
But good reasoned discussions will never work on most voters. Facts might make them sheepish for a while if confronted, but they'll soon retreat to news which assuages their confirmation bias. Only large-scale demonstrations and emotional reactions are going to work against that. Make these people feel like they're in the out group, for once.

- labster 10y agoFor a while. But nonviolent protest does have a history of effectiveness in the long term.
