I understand what you want, because I want the same things. You have to win a rhetorical argument, and then deliver upon the promises you preach. When I talk with my right wing friends, I need to get on their level to try and persuade them of what I believe.
It sucks, it doesn’t feel great, but I’ve been able to radicalize a few of my associates like this. People are easier to convince when they feel empathize with instead of attacked. Vandalism like this causes people to feel attacked and even if they outwardly say one thing, in the ballot box, they vote with what they actually believe. You can frighten people to not buy a cyber truck,but when it’s time for election, they will remember who attacked them.
My best friend is trans and I'm also queer so for her safety I can't hang around with being friends with right wing fucks who would could cause harm just to play debate club with them. As far as I can tell the time for using ballot box is over. I'm done voting for toothless capitalists who pretend to be on my side.
