how to talk to an old conservative gun shop owner about politics: "the government takes advantage of people" -> "both parties are evil and all our tax dollars go to Israel anyway but I vote my way and you vote yours because ideologically we both see our rights being stripped away from us" -> "yeah well that's not really communist, it's socialist and if it were up to me I'd be living somewhere nice like Switzerland where they actually did it right" -> "the media sows division by scapegoating, the left says its people like you and gun owners and stuff, and the right says it's trans people and immigrants, and it's all to distract from the rich robbing us blind, I'm not your enemy and you aren't mine, it's the rich and powerful like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Donald Trump, and the whole lot of them needs to lose power and influence"
