At this point it’s best to accept how we’re going to be portrayed. There isn’t much we can do to absolve ourselves of their preconceptions. Best to make sure you’re prepared for the worst of it and hope it doesn’t come to that. I for one, refuse to be led by fear. The world’s not fair, and if it’s not fair to you, use that injustice as a motivator.
I agree that we should be prepared. We are not changing these minds. But we need to have a rhetorical response that’s convincing to those who don’t know where they stand. And we need to move past just responding. Leftists are just terrible at rhetoric these days.
