Libs believe reactionaries are permanent features of humanity. You can’t get rid of them. There simply must be some delusional, racist, backwards part of any given society because they’re just stupid and have freely chosen a path of ignorance because it was easier. That’s the only diagnosis a liberal can give. Everything is the product of personal affectation and if you have the incorrect affect, you’re simply a lower form of human who should be regarded and treated as such. At best you can give reactionaries positive media portrayals of the people they despise, you can do hare brained lectures about Judith Butler at them, or you try to shame them into changing.

Also personal affectation is completely independent of class, material interest, historical context, or anything like that. There are bad people and good people and those are their primary qualities.
