Agreed on the MAGA. I have been trying to reach the MSNBC "liberals" in my life for years. I hope you have better luck. I guess I hope the left can convince the people who are largely disengaged but whose heart is in the right place. There are a lot of them.
It's why I often bring up how the anti-trans culture war repackaged the "gay agenda" from 20 years ago. Centrists generally claim they support gay rights but many don't notice how MAGAs reuse anti-gay attacks against trans people.
That's an excellent point. Centrists probably try to ignore that because their political heros spent that time triangulating and siding with the right, DOMA, etc.
