The Left is doing it wrong.

We need to stop calling it the green New Deal; and call it the Patriot Power Act.

We’re not trying to go green or “Woke”. No! We’re making ’Merca energy independent! We’ll stop importing oil from the tourist countries! And be energy self sufficient!

—BRANDING!!

I remember trying to always understand those “others”, but in recent years reality intervenes. Just like I always thought I had a good reputation for k owledge, knowing the facts, regardless of my politics, yet knowing facts now seems like a liability in certain discussions

I hear you. What I mean by othering is they didn’t hate other races, genders, intelligence in general. Those things may as well be Satan, now. Right up to Iraq. Then Obama got elected and they went off the deep end.
