(1,617 posts)It sounds counterintuitive, but the very fact that a person is listening/receptive to an idea--even a bit--makes them an easier target for vitriol.
It's not like there aren't an abundance of reps completely ignoring the genocide in Palestine, who would make more sensible and productive targets for resistance.
