Who

Oh, I have 2 confederate flag flying, racist as shit, Fox News obsessed parents. I've grown up with it all my life.

And what Fox does very successfully, is constantly highlights how liberals, moderates, and progressives hate them, sneer down at them.

Fox is already doing this and doing it on purpose b/c it triggers people's self-defence mechanism around their ego. They feel attacked.

And when people feel attacked, (yours truly included), they double down.

people don't become more reasonable when shamed, attacked, or demeaned. they might fall silent - and the resentment that builds in that silence is actually worse than outright doubling down. It's a whole 'nother level.

You're not going to shame and insult this problem away.
