I think every person who tries their best to humanize the "awful people" helps. It's not always, and is fact rarely, about you. Which is an important thing to keep in mind in life, just in general.

Look into the Trump campaign promises, see what the merits were that weren't rooted in bigotry, racism, and hate, try to find Democratic (or even Republican) candidates that can deliver on those while not being hateful and voice support of those people.

I think realizing that it quite literally is a smokescreen is something that can give the voting public common ground even if they disagree on specifics or the fervor with which they care about specifics, which is why I try to spread that message.

I mean y'all are roasting foolmo for his reaction to the NDAA but I think if you viewed it for a "generally bad for human rights as a whole and also trans rights specifically due to this part" it'd be a lot better for finding common ground to rally against than specifically highlighting the trans stuff to the exclusion of everhthing else.

Being angry about it is fine but if that's the energy you project it's self-sabotaging.
