Steve, I appreciate your advocacy for immigrants. And I'm not saying you take the position you do on working with the alt-right out of malice. You may genuinely believe it is the best road to accomplish needed reforms. But I think that working w/ them will normalize them.

Racism *is normalized* here already.

You don't need to tell ME that. But its also possible to make it worse, right? Racism occurs in degrees and the alt-right wants it to be worse.

I used to want to date Angelina Jolie. Thing is, she would've had a say in that. I know what they want. That doesn't make it likely. What makes you think it would get worse by engaging them? That it would "turn" more people to their side?

Yes, it gives them an audience to spread their message. So, I think working w/ Cernovich would do that. Some of his followers may want universal healthcare, but they have a narrower ideal of who should be included (i.e. only white Americans).

Again, what makes you think people would turn to their side in an open debate of ideas?

Because it happens all the time! How do you think the ranks of the alt-right have grown? They are actively targeting and converting people. And no, they won't "turn" overnight, but it will initiate or hasten the process.

They're targeting and converting people outside of the realm of true public debate. Basically, in the dark, just like the KKK did 100 years ago. "Sunlight is the best disinfectant."

Absolutely. But, from my view, that involves exposing them. Telling people what they do. Not debating them. I'm not advocating pretending like they don't exist.

The public reacts poorly to one-sided things like that. And it allows the racists to play victim. We aren't going to agree, apparently. But I will maintain there's only one way to defeat it, and that is through open dialog.

I don't think we will agree. I'm basing my argument on my knowledge of how behaviors and beliefs change. And I don't think what you are reasoning is backed up by peer reviewed-evidence.

Can you show me peer-reviewed science that shows that bad ideas take hold *more* when openly and publicly debated?
