    It’s amazing how often a soft-handed approach like “hey that was a mean thing to say” will make fuckers INSTANTLY back down and do that weak ass “oh i was just joking” backpedal.

      And even reconsider long held viewpoints. I work with a classic conservative but in the past 6 years he’s started to come around a little. Me, another genx standard construction worker, having a trans kid and just talking has softened his crusty ass quite a bit. Doubt it’s changed his vote but he wouldn’t openly disrespect my kid now
