You're forgetting the part where they prefer the lies.
Turns out Carl Sagan's are rare, but practically anyone can be an Alex Jones.
No doubt, building is a harder job than destroying. Breaking is easier than making.
But they're both creative acts. They both "change things". It's on us to message the one that's productive.
Kennedy said "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country!" Great speech phrasing, and he was an incredible speaker. But how do you sell that message?
You don't ignore or disdain. You include. It's hard damn work. But you can't win assuming the voters will just "get it."
Yeah, and your blasting everyone left of Hillary for not being Carl Sagan, and giving all the Alex Jones's a pass because we weren't nice enough to them.
It's not realistic, I'd even be willing to argue it's not logistically possible with the headwinds created by mass misinformation and a willful disregard for facts as the idiots seek solace in escapism.
Well then we're doomed. Because hoping people "get it" and vote correctly doesn't work, tangibly.
The other option is lie to them better than the Republicans do.
