like, how do you really approach the average american and just like, empathetically convey that they need to raze this fucking barn
i mean especially the groups out there who historically had some level of buy-in to the system and are in denial about their exclusion - like what is the metaphorical eye-piece nada can force onto their eyes to see the basic truth: we gonna have to do something unpleasant to change this sitch
Additional ammo: ‘if Trump is an existential threat to the system… What use is the system if it allowed him in?’
Also, point out the idea of how the economy is this nebulous thing, that just so happens to have an effect like a god on every facet of our lives. This is a fact that nobody can deny. When they acknowledge this, simply ask them “did you vote on for this economy?”. Of course not, you don’t get to, but it - a man made thing - gets to determine your life course. Then point out that famous rich people can sway the economy with their words as they please. If Musk called a press conference in an hour (you, me, and everyone we’ve ever known doesn’t have that ability.) and said money isn’t real, it’s all a big scam, bla bla bla, world markets would collapse and you’d probably lose your home.
