your depiction of the poor Maga sucker, but is it our responsibility to "bring these people over"? How does that even work?? Seems there's not much we can do but carry on-- do what we've always been doing. Let them work on themselves.

As for our side being "privileged and righteous" because we are right and they are wrong -- I don't accept that. For one thing a LOT of the privileged and righteous among us voted FOR him.

We're indulging our egos by stating our Truth? "We should get over being right" --why? I hope NOT to get over being as right as I feel about this shit show. How does that mean we're not working, to what...proselytize, recruit, make them feel welcome? Olive branches and all that? Maybe I'm not reading the underlying message in your words here, but I don't think we are the ones who need to reach out so much.
