Everything the liberals have ever promoted: feminism (19A, raising age of consent, equal pay), diversity (civil rights, open borders, affirmative action), homosexuality, transgenderism, EVERYTHING was anathema at one point in time. Your job as a grassroots activist aka revolutionary is to change the minds of people. You do that by repeating your talking points until they give up out of frustration. This is how democracy works. Do you think the liberals said, "wow everyone hates gay marriage, maybe we should listen to people/" or "Wow these people are ignorant, we need to double down on our brainwashing." ?
