No, fuck 'em. Positive reinforcement when conservatives finally accept LGBTQ+ family members hasn't worked and conservatives have only leaned into their bigotry and hatred.

Stop acting like you live in a perfect world where the vast majority of voters are Left.

In 2024 we need every vote we can get, and if that means treating latecomers nice, it's better than getting four more years of the GOP.

Slow motion is much better than no motion.

"Keep doing the counterproductive thing" is a terrible argument.

Acknowledging their change is fine. Celebrating it and plastering it on the news gives reasonable people false hope that most conservatives can be reasoned with when it is apparent conservstives have a tiny chance to change when it happens to them directly.

Tell me if I wrong but if you show that won't there also be a positive effect for people who need that last bit of push to finally see it?

You are thinking of reasonable people.

Only changing when it personally affects them is confirmation that positive reinforcement doeson't work on bigots. Shame barely kept them from being publicly shitty for a couple of decades, but that was more than positive reinforcement.

hardcore bigots would've shunned the grandkid instead

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yes, hardcore bigots would have. These are everyday normal bigots who probably shifted on one personal issue and otherwise still hold onto the rest of their shitty views.
