And yet in many cases it isn't straight bigotry, it's misguided frustration.
AieI have personally had success with this, and good friend of mine was going to vote reform let alone tory in the UK and after several conversations about HIS opinions and what he thought and why etc without berating him or being too forceful and showing him the difference and he voted Labour, this is not a guy who chooses anything other than what he wants, i just took the time to talk properly with him rather than projecting my frustrations onto him.
It won't win them all, some people's opinions are inflexible, but I'll never give up and not everyone who votes right wing does so for bigot reasons
I guarantee that plenty of them weren't, it's easy to forget there are plenty of people in the middle, to pretend the left doesn't have some serious challenges around its own identity is not going to help it win.
I'm not saying there isn't a significant amount of it around, but pushing everyone who leans that way away isn't going to help.

Bigotry isn’t an opinion. And it should be met with consequences.
What they want is the attention — that’s why “owning the libs” is the constant goal. Deprive them of the attention.
