But it does fade with them dying, like I said, it's a generational thing. It's a slow process, but fewer people alive now, view the world like people did back in the 50s, or the 40s, and so on. Because the people that hold those beliefs, are mostly dead, and fewer people growing up after them, adopted those beliefs. I freaking said in my post we have to work to keep their beliefs from spreading, and it DOES work, but you are not going to change the minds of the majority of the people who hold an outdated, or hostile belief structure. But fewer people these days are religious, than in any previous generation, and the number has been steadily rising on every pole. It's slow, going from say a 2% margin, to a 10% margin, doesn't seem like much, but it's how it works. More people raised outside of their archaic worldview, and then the previous ones just die out, making less of them overall. Sure, that doesn't account for them having power and influence, and doesn't account for all the damage they can do while they are here now, but it's ultimately what will work. You can have numbers change somewhat, when things like the capitol attack happen, as we've seen a decent number of people changing their political alignment as a result, leaving the republican party. But the limbaughs, and the trumps, and the grahams and cruzs of the world, are NEVER going to change, they're NEVER going to actually realize they are full of shit, and actively change. And until they die, we are stuck with them and their viewpoints.
What we can do is damage control until they die out, and make sure fewer people are raised in their viewpoint going forward. Which is what I said initially.
