The defensiveness is such a difficult thing to break through IRL. Trying to convince liberals it isn’t just Trump and isn’t just republicans probably isn’t the best strategy for getting liberals to see the issues with America as a system (or at least the way I’m doing it). Though strangers tend to be a bit less willing to push back as much as family and friends of family it seems.
