Exactly. The whole "everything the other side does is evil while my side can do no wrong btw" isn't helpful or going to lead to any change at all. Worse, these attempts to "control the conversation" would (if paid attention to) actually lead to increasing those evil deeds, bc leopards always eat people's faces off aka reveale their true spots... eventually. e.g. blaming liberals for genocide will only lead to Republicans winning who have actively and outright stated that they will do even more genocide, plus far more than that besides.

And I don't blame normies - who wants to join a place that features such "alternative facts" and "alternative logic" on a daily basis? Yes you can go to some trouble to opt-out, but not easily, and they don't know how, or even that it's possible to do so.
