In this interview with Jared Yates-Sexton, Danielle Moodie also admits that it was wrong to believe just explaining things would fix things. The both of them admit that they tried to alert people what was happening and even if it failed, it’s clear now that wasn’t a great strategy after all. We can stop beating ourselves up and thinking it was just a matter of spreading word hard enough. There are Trumpers who’ve had their wives taken away by ICE and they don’t regret their vote, and people who’ve lost a child to measles who still say it’s not big deal and they still wouldn’t vaccinate their kids.
We know now that there’s no apparent tipping point where things just go the right way naturally because nobody opposes common sense. That’s obvious now. We can move on with a positive vision, working with the people who want the good things for all of us, and overcome the naysayers.
