    Thank you for the interesting read but i don’t think this forgive and forget narrative fixes the problem. I wish I had an alternative I could provide because it seems irreconcilable when this “other side” advocates against your existence to your face.

      I don’t think this is forgive-and-forget. Its recognizing the source of the conflict as fascist propaganda, not some intrinsic impulse within some subset of people.

      Rather than trying to debate bro your parents on Trumpism, try cutting their cable line and see how their opinions shift without a steady diet of reactionary TV.
