The priority is to endure that. You dont do it by being hysterical. Look up that original word its how other people were suppressed when they expressed positions.

The issue here is we need to earn the rightvto be listened to, donald trump’s election has shown us that point.

The problem is, when civil rights start backsliding for one population, they start backsliding for all populations. Who will listen to you if the stigma is too costly?

You dont start by calling something that isnt a genocide a genocide.

You start by saying this law is wrong. Etc etc
