       @Davidtoddmccarty Good insight. Dismissal is exactly how one deals with a dum dum in real life. However, Trumpism has thrived because no one calls it out for its misrepresentations. Most voters   just go with the superficial and accept utterly stupid things like CRT.The left needs to get down on the voter's level, look them in the eye and say - here's what they aren't telling you. Here are the real facts and BTW, why aren't R's solving the problems you really have?

       @Davidtoddmccarty I agree! What is the solution? Since I'm in Texas, I am behind enemy lines here. I know what works and that's personal relationships, but that is very difficult to scale. Building a relationship with a MAGA (non-nutty neighbor) over shared interests and over time can cause them to re-think their position. But, how do we Democrats reach the persuadable behind enemy lines at scale?

       @Davidtoddmccarty D's should build their own ecosystem, but I worry that our ecosystem would be positive when fear sells for the R's. Also, D's have more nuanced and complicated positions. This is a much harder sell than Fox News simple-minded blather.Perhaps, the D ecosystem needs to be its own thing-not a mirror image of the R system. I'm thinking we should borrow from educators. Teachers are fantastic at meeting students where they are and figuring out how to reach them.

       @Davidtoddmccarty Thanks for the link to the Chronicle of Higher Education. I read the article. What are your conclusions about the instructor's experience and how does it relate to creating a D ecosystem to make inroads in enemy territory?
