The secret is: we don’t need them and never have. Stop thinking about them and continue moving forward.
Unreachable people have always existed politically. Somehow the conversation these days has become “what about the problems of fascists? How do we get them on-board and deradicalize them?” But we can’t and never will.
We’ll just continue without them as they fade into the marginalia of history.
The problem is the crazies started getting voted into office. Not a ton, but enough now to start driving the party narrative. They don’t listen to reason, they don’t compromise, and they have no grip on reality. They would rather burn it all to the ground than let one more gay person get married, one more woman make her own health care choice, or etc. Their own party doesn’t even know wtf to do about it.
