General Discussion

Since the passage of Civil Rights and Voting Rights legislation there has been considerable progress in racial justice, though the struggle was far from over before Trump came along. Progress has also been made on gender rights over the decades.

That doesn't mean that people were cured of racial, gender, and religious bigotry. However, open expression of these age-old hatreds became less tolerated in public and business spheres. The BEHAVIOR changed somewhat, but grievance over the inhibition of behavior simmered.

Then Trump came along. He validated and liberated those behaviors, and they love him for it. Changing deeply rooted cultural bigotry is a longer term challenge than inhibiting behaviors by altering rewards.

FAFO is more likely to change electoral outcomes, as people can easily connect the dots between their real world pain and the actions of the current administration. Perhaps not among the cultists, but they alone are not the margin of victory.
