“I’ve been working on my neighbor for five years. Most of the time, it felt like beating my head against a wall, but every once in a while, I would see cracks. Yesterday I sent him some videos and asked him to do me a favor: ‘Spend the rest of the day watching the videos without commentary before Fox News tells you what to think.’ He called me the next morning and said, ‘That agent needs to be put in jail for life. Trump needs to stop this.’ We’re getting there. I’ve cut a lot of people off, and I’m surprised I’ve stuck with it for so long. But he keeps reaching out and asking things like, ‘Fox says this, is it true?'”
“Recently, he said something like, ‘The people in power and the rich are trying to make us hate each other.’ I almost told him he was basically quoting Bernie Sanders, but he wasn’t ready for that yet. At this point, I’m invested in seeing this through. It’s like watching a dad cheer on his 40-year-old toddler taking his first step.”
