We can offer hope instead of fear. The right is steeped in fear, it fuels their entire ideology. If we are able to offer hope, hope is more powerful than fear.

But being the adults in the room we must remember who we are speaking to. We have to converse with them, not at them. If you converse at them, they will simply retreat into the fear bubble because it is familiar, comfortable, and makes them feel safe.

I’m not saying we don’t offer hope. But hope and anger are not incompatible.

You can’t offer hope for a better tomorrow unless you are willing to point out and fix the problems of today. And as long as we are avoiding scaring the right, we cannot do this.

Anger and hope are absolutely compatible, I have no idea why you would even say that.

You can point out and fix the problems of today while offering hope and solutions that lead to a better tomorrow.

I have no idea What kind of weird thought process led you to believe that these concepts are mutually exclusive.

I’m not sure why you think I think they are mutually exclusive. I said the exact opposite of that.
