My head is in the same place with regard to leftism. I really wish more people had the smarts and resilience to talk down conservatives who are still reachable by sane discourses. It’s hypocritical of me though, given how many people I see as essentially in a death cult. At this point the best I can do most days is be real, keep a playful tone, and stop talking when I don’t have anything constructive to say.
