Hahaha. The right says the same thing about the left. Being obstinate just increases polarization. What you are seeing happen right now is precisely because of the position you are taking. People have been pleading for decades to cut government spending. Trying to do it "the right way" hasn't worked. So now we are to "fuck it" if they won't work with us just tear it down and ask for forgiveness later.

This is not a reason to think that impassioned speech will have the impact you want. It may still be counter-productive. At any rate, those who are acting in good faith will recognize the well-reasoned arguments as such and perhaps start to wonder about the reasoning for their beliefs.

This is an incredibly sweeping generalization. There are a lot of people who voted for Trump because of their perception of his merit/qualifications/plans vs Harris. Pretending they are all brainwashed simpletons not only alienates them but also sets up for future failures. There's a reason these people voted for him. What is that reason? Treating is as some temporary hysteria is just going to keep getting people like Trump (or worse) elected over and over.

These people are insane. Conservatism needs to be officially recognized as a mental disorder.
