I hope people realize that there are many white Republican voters in this country if they're given a choice between renting a room in their house to a person of color or burning down the house, they will elect to burn down the entire neighborhood. It's not just a small fringe.
If you think this is an exaggeration, you should study US history. Look at what many white communities did after desegregation. Some shut down the local pools instead of allowing equal access for everyone.
They will rationalize it as legitimate victimhood. They feel everything and everyone is against them, and they are being "replaced." It's a zero sum game for them. Hence the 2016 election labeled as the Flight 93 election: charge the cockpit or die.
At most, we will win over some, but only after they experience immense personal pain and suffering. But the rest are lost. It's going to be a long, ugly, violent death rattle of a death cult. I would love nothing more to be wrong, but sadly I don't think I am.
