To build on this. I had a well-intentioned but but libbed up friend send me an apology recently for saying that she wasn’t comfortable talking to me anymore after I called Israel and ethno-nationalist colonial apartheid state in December. I’ve since been (seemingly successfully) tearing down her worldview with laying bare how awful the empire has been for years across so many fronts.
Are there people increasingly holding onto and doubling down on their worldview in the face of global geopolitical uncertainty? Absolutely, but there are also many, many people realizing for the first time in their privileged lives what America (and really more broadly speaking the West) really is and represents and those people are reachable.
