Understanding that has changed my perspective on how I address certain topics with people I engage with. </p><p><br></p><p>\"Leftists may have a better product to sell but conservatives know better how to two sell a product.\" </p><p><br></p><p>Did you know? Some studies show that \"right-leaning individuals\" actually understand that \"left-leaning individuals\" are more morally sound in their foundations.&nbsp;This is why logic and rationalization is pointless.&nbsp;They don’t need to be good.&nbsp;They don't need to be right. They aren’t trying to <em>win</em>. They are trying to keep the argument going.&nbsp;The argument isn’t supposed to end.&nbsp;They want to kick the can down the road, with no intention of recycling it.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>They are very good at convincing you it's in \"good faith\", when it is not.&nbsp;Don't engage. Recognize that the \"high road\" doesn't exist. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>WATCH THE INNUENDO STUDIO'S VIDEO</strong>: <em>Endnote 5: A Case Study in Digital Radicalism</em><strong>&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLYWHpgIoIw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLYWHpgIoIw</strong></a></p><p>(I quote Innuendo Studios a lot, because this creator is incredible and \"The Alt-Right Playbook\" is required viewing, in my opinion.) </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources for Resisting a Coup:</strong> <a href=\"https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66</a></p><p><br></p><p>SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): <a href=\"https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed</a></p><p>DONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: <a href=\"http://www.pcrf.net/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.pcrf.net</a></p><p>GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME:<a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/6152264dc28ad2001383af42/episodes/www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.com</a></p><p>TUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT:<a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/6152264dc28ad2001383af42/episodes/www.instagram.com/mydbpodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> www.instagram.com/mydbpodcast</a></p><p>OR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON:<a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/6152264dc28ad2001383af42/episodes/www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcast</a></p><p><em>OR WATCH ON YOUTUBE:</em><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/juliemerica\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em> www.youtube.com/juliemerica</em></a><em>&nbsp;</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
