      I don’t think that calling someone a pedophile is any more convincing than calling them a nazi. If anything, that’ll just make them dig their heels deeper.

          Well I mean you can go around calling them fascists all you want. That already got you Trump twice but maybe 3rd time is the charm.

          Do you think they’re going to accept that he is one when the accusation is coming from someone on the left? I doubt it.

              I don’t think it’s that they don’t listen to anyone. People generally are open to hear different views as long as it’s done in good faith rather that in the form of accusations. Nobody wants to hear from someone who openly treats them as second class citizens. If you treat them with dignity and are open to hear their views as well you’re far more likely to get them to reflect on their own views too. Daryl Davis is a good example of this.
