I got a friend who’s MAGA and I’ve been talking to her about her politics for a bit and she’s willing to hear me out on my concerns. It’s also black history month, and she knows nothing about black history.
I wanna watch a movie with her or a documentary that dives into modern-day racism without explicitly putting down MAGA/conservatives. My goal is not to insult her or make her feel bad, it’s to educate her, hence why I’m asking.
(Please let me know if something I’ve said is problematic or offensive in some kinda way? Sometimes I word things badly or I will ask things that arent okay and I dont realize it until I hit post, lemme know so I can correct myself for the future thankyuuuu ;w;)
It would have to involve a lot of emotion. It would need to trigger empathy in them so should center around a person who they would identify with. For racism it’s unlikely you’ll find a documentary for that.
They have empathy, its just misguided. They arent a racist but believe in being “Colorblind” (which is another conversation ima have to have with her lmao)
Her and her family just seem like the Misguided type of brainwashed where the only reason they became MAGA is out of some kind of fear or desperation for wanting to better their country. Innocent reasons that lead them into a horrible pipeline. They arent too far gone yet cus they enjoy talking to me and hearing out what I have to say. Even admitting when they are wrong in some aspects
Racism and a lot of the things conservatives believe out of fear are emotional reactions. They don’t reason themselves into positions so you cannot reason them out of them.
But I can and I did. I’ve already gotten her to back down on her ideas of Book bannings and Trans people and got her to admit being wrong in somethings.
