2. If you want to win, you can't push back. You have to find ways to subvert them so they get folded in

Of course the racism part is non-negotiable. Likewise with other bigotry and prejudice, including against women and sexuality.

But the anger is fundamentally the same angst that 20 somethings and 30 somethings on OUR side experience. Racism etc is the weak point in their psyche that pops out as the expression of that angst.

Push back on racism, sexism -- always.

Embrace the root causes of angst: wealth and income inequality. Draw them in that way.
