I’d agree the challenge isn’t finding some position that unifies progressives with white supremacists, Nazis, libertarians, religious conservatives, fiscal conservatives, *AND* capitalists but promoting policies in a way that appeal to a subset of those individuals. And, yeah, I wouldn’t count on seeing a bunch of Klan members being swayed toward social justice ideology (although there’s chap using one-on-one interactions to bring people away from white supremicist ideology — https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2017\/08\/20\/544861933\/how-one-man-convinced-200-ku-klux-klan-members-to-give-up-their-robes). I think a lot about moral foundations theory (e.g. Haidt’s “The Righteous Mind”) when I think about how to unify with a subset of the Republican party. Check out Feinberg and Willer’s research where they present articles written using liberal and conservative moral foundations (https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/282668982_From_Gulf_to_Bridge_When_Do_Moral_Arguments_Facilitate_Political_Influence) — I found myself supporting military spending as a massive public works project (I still think it sucks you need to risk your life to participate in said public works project!). I’ve also had a lot more luck convincing conservative friends that keeping the air\/water\/soil clean is a Good Thing as a matter of cleanliness\/godlieness instead of all of the Very Good Reasons I think it’s important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
