    it isn’t about trying to change their minds, it’s about directing their anger to the correct source.

    That’s exactly what I’m saying.

    it isn’t holding up a mirror and going “you are to blame.”

    This is not what I’m saying.

      you underestimate the average person’s adherence to strict ideology. a lot of people have a mixture of beliefs without realizing it and tend to focus on the more extreme forms the Right has shoveled them. it is definitely possible to unify people through initial common ground that pacifies rather than agitates, like higher wages: practically every LABORER is in favor of that.
