Don't forget those that want public education to fail so that they can make money off the private schools and people who want private schools so they can discriminate legally.

I have told it a couple times in various places over the years. It's entirely possible you've read it before.

A coworker of mine started falling down the YouTube conspiracy rabbit hole. He said something about the moon landing maybe being a hoax. I told him that when I was in college I used the big telescope to look at the moon landing site, so I knew for sure it was real. After that, he believed in the moon landing.

Now of course I was lying about seeing the moon landing site. Terrestrial telescopes can't see the landing site. I convinced my friend to believe the truth by countering a lie from a stranger with a lie from someone he trusts.

Go over to the conservative sub and try and talk people over to your side. See how that goes for you.

MAGA is a religion for these people. No amount of protests or good arguments are going to change their minds. They only understand fear and force. They will happily shove every protestor in the country into concentration camps or deport them regardless of citizenship. I wish you were right, but I wouldn't bet on it.

We can argue all day how to define Democrats politically, but they are not far right by any stretch of the definition. They are at worst centrist.

There is absolutely no reason the US government shouldn't be launching their own public satellite internet.

Look at North Korea. People get killed for smuggling in flash drives with western media into the country. We could be streaming it from uninterruptible satellites. We could be fighting the global information war on a level most other countries could only dream of.

On the domestic end, if we get Internet access to every corner of the country, it opens up remote work to every American. That could bring an incredible economic boost to impoverished rural areas.

No, they aren't. That is objectively false. Fascism is inherently a far right philosophy.

The same third of the country consistently ruins it for the rest of us.

You can definitely find this dynamic in anime, although a lot of the romance stories are about couples getting together rather than an established relationship. "Horimya" and "My Dress Up Darling" are both series which are recent and very popular. They might be close to what you want. Some less popular titles that are more precisely what you described are "An Archedemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride" and "Shikimori's Not Just A Cutie".

 

Remember, ask for a warrant, don't talk to the police, and don't sign anything.
