    The question that matters is this: Does it matter for a fraction of them, so that it can split voters off and change who holds power?

    If the answer is yes, then it’s a big deal.

      I’ll concede that elections are won on margins. I agree that is a big deal.

      I just think it’s important to not pretend conservatives in any large way are capable of changing their dangerous viewpoints. To survive, we’ll need to work around them rather than focusing all of our energy in trying to move them. But, if a few can be moved without wasting all of our time and energy on them, then that is great.
