MODERATORS
Not to downplay how frustrating that must be, seriously, I live in a regressive area as well. It genuinely sucks.
What i find works moderately well is to describe programs in ways that benefit those people directly. Meet them where they are willing to be; selfish.
Don't mention the other people, focus on how it could help them and their family and friends.
If you can’t fix selfish, which in this economy you probably can’t, fix framing. Make it all about how much they win from social programs that “they pay for and don't get any of”. Thats getting easier to do with healthcare and UBI, as things get worse and the top few benefit, and they apply to everyone. Don't mention that it helps other people at all. Thats’s a negative to them, just tell them how much less they will be paying, how much their family will benefit with that extra money.
There is absolutely nothing that can be said to these dullards.
They straight up say that minimum wage jobs are only for teenagers, and if adults are in those roles, well, it’s their fault. “Just get a better job”.
Now I rub it in their face’s of how shitty their views are. They stopped bringing it up when I’m in the room. I’m good with that.
