I have learned the best way to remember how to spell restaurant, for me, is to pronounce the Spanish word for it, “restaurante”.

If you remove the ‘e’ it sounds the same as it is spelled.

It also requires a person to change their worldview, which takes time. Don’t forget to give people grace while they are exploring their biases.

(I am aware that gaining political sentience is very late at this time, but better late than never)

Yeh, but you gotta take it one step at a time with people who think politics doesn’t affect them and are just becoming aware.

If you come at them too hard, they will get scared. I find it easier to point to the things the current admin is doing as an easy example of, “This is not ok.”

More people are waking up with every evil thing this administration does.

Also the only metric that equals administration bad for some people is changing: Gas prices.

Progressive Politics fans when they see US candidates presenting an alternative to the status quo and giving people something to hope for:

I hope the Overton window shifts that far to the left some day.

It is more so pointing out the people who get up in arms after getting banned from a platform owned by a private company. If they are upset about that because of the 1st amendment, they should be upset about this.

The reality is that they are just upset their hateful views are bad PR when presented to the general public.

I just wish genocide wasn’t a given for both leading candidates.
