    Start with local issues they can actually relate to.

    In my experience, it’s often privileged leftists who have a "burn it all to the ground and build something better" mindset come from a place of privilege that would enable them to weather the storm. It reminds me of men telling women right now "things have to get worse before they can get better" or "it doesn’t matter who wins" when policies relating to bodily autonomy are critical to women.
