Does...does it have to be?
I kinda want them here so they can be exposed to leftist ideas and become thigh-high wearing, Linux using furries.
But that's probably just me huffing hopium
"I can fix them..." ~Common thought in an abusive relationship
It's not going to work, at best they see themselves as a "missionary" whose purpose is to convert us from our "ways" and they're not going to allow themselves to be converted.
Of course it would, at least for some of them.. You can't seriously believe that people cannot change their minds, especially conservatives, who often only have their views because of living in a bubble.
Let them try. Let them actually lay out and present their twisted worldview. And if you don't want to see it or hear about it, fine, block their space. It's much more likely that they will change than it is for a leftist to change because the vast majority of leftists are actually familiar with the right and their believes. The other way around is generally a different story..
I've found it to be ineffective, sure some do "see the light", but is it worth it?
Time and time again I see others lay out (not just here but on Reddit, TT, Xitter, Nextdoor and everywhere else) for conservatives evidence, graphs, good sources, scientific studies, hard numbers, video and photos, well structured arguments that are short, medium and long on length and much much more.
And what are they nearly always met with? That's just fake news, lies by the deep State, "AI", biased news!, Lefty propaganda, demoncrat LIEESSS, LIBTURDS etc.
