    I 100% agree for the meme, but just warning that this isn’t really a strong argument. I’m going to straw man here, but: “I’m against the Protect the Children Act”, “You’re literally saying you’re against protecting children.” “No, I just disagree that the Act is actually about protecting children and is more about government surveillance and corporate control.” In their heads, they’ve already prepared the argument.

    Basically, by them seeing it as a unified organization that stands for more than just being opposed to fascism, they see it as a crafted doublethink instead of realizing they are the victims of a different doublethink, to butcher the use of the term. It’s hard to cut through that.
