    Alt-right pipeline is alive and flourishing. Check on your loved ones mental health and reach across the aisle with open arms if you can, block if you can’t. Try not to feed the trolls, and Godspeed!

    E: can to can’t

      That can have pitfalls itself, can’t it? If I knew someone who was going down that path I’d worry about it feeling like I’m policing them rather than valuing and supporting them.

      Are you advocating to block loved ones if their mental health is too far gone or am I misreading this?

        Good catch, meant to say “don’t block if you can” we need them to see our side. I’ll update my op.

        And to add context, this is a waiting game. I’m hopeful the factions align under progressive libs before cons. We all want a better place, we gotta keep moving forward. Regression is bad mkay
