"Now I understand how somebody like Adolf Hitler was able to brainwash millions of people," Thomas from Hawaii said in a shocking CSPAN call denouncing Trump.
You said it yourself, they aren’t going away. The only way to have a semblance of a fix for this situation is to repair all the things the parasite class broke, and that’s education, financial security (jobs, wages, and things like single-payer healthcare), and time. That will stop most of the overt destructive hatred from the Right.
This is like the old racists from the South. They won’t go away. They exist.

What improves things is the next generation to having it better. They get exposed to different people an have a better education, they get the stability and have less opportunity to jump on the racist bogeyman-wagon.
We’re not going to fix the current generation. They’re broken.
Unfortunately it’s going to be hard to fix anything at all with the Dems being witting failures, the Republicans dismantling everything and instituting fascism, and the geopolitics and economics shifting away from the US leaving us in worse condition to build things right.

“Fix”, probably not, “improve”, maybe so. They’re still sick, exploited humans deserving of love. Unless they’ve actually killed someone in an ICE detention camp or something, then they should be swinging from a (judicially mandated) rope.
I pretty much agree with everything you said though, yeah. I don’t actually think the US is salvageable, I think the empire will collapse and the country will probably balkanize. It’s a terminally ill nation, and how could it not be, with what it ate growing up? I’m just trying to help who I can on the way down and reduce the number of future deaths however I can.
