Liberal guilt?

25. Thank you

I think you understand completely where I'm coming from, and it heartens me to know that there are people seriously thinking about this problem and what to do about it. I worry that if I were to try to talk to Trump supporters I would indeed come off as smug and condescending--and I think it would be hard not to, if only because of the necessity to explain things that they don't understand, like the fact that they have nothing to fear from the estate tax. The depth of their ignorance, and the violence of their support of things that really run counter to their own interests, makes it triply hard, I think, for any kind of civil discourse to take place at this point. The internet certainly has a huge influence, and yet the well-documented inability to change minds when presented with stone-cold facts is maddening.
