Thank you for publishing this, it's excellent work, and I'll be following along closely to learn more and apply what I've learned. I have strong progressive opinions, but I've typically shied away from the more difficult discussions so as not to provoke conflict. I can no longer avoid the feeling that these times, though, require me to get off the sideline and be part of the change I wish to see.
Thank you! I’ve been invited to a Trumpy FB group by a former colleague, w/whom I share many values and similar history, who’s gone off the deep end. Ima try all this there :-)
One thing- If you have some alt framings on DEI, I sure could use them. My friend, a now retired white man (married to his college sweetheart, an Asian woman) is convinced his career was curtailed by DEI. ;-)
Another great article! Just like your framing article on Abortion a while back. This information and strategy is very helpful, especially for me, as I tend to be more ike a Brooklyn girl in someone's face. I need to smooth my edges.
Thank you Antonia! I also discovered how engaging people in discussions and listening to their perspectives and responding thoughtfully and authentically builds connections and strengthens our community. WMW
I haven't heard that, but I think the framing works either way. I just hate when people say "commonsense" instead of "common sense." The former feels inauthentic to me!

Good suggestions for how to deflect!

“Gun violence, common sense” as opposed to “common sense gun safety laws.” That’s a change isn’t it, I think Lakoff was proposing the later years ago.
