And before you respond that Pence was not even talking about the same stuff as this doc, I get it. But Pence did listen. He thanked the doc for his work. He did not stonewall. And it would be easier for him to just nod, ignore, and walk away.

Conservatives Communication is about cues. Emotional and heuristic cues that signal intent. Respect, a calm tone, an open face, reduce the likelihood that the listener will perceive threat, right?

And when conservatives communicate in the presence of perceived threat, I would argue their goals completely change. And while this is true for all of us, it is especially true for folks whose psychological profiles are rooted in threat monitoring.

This is why liberals embracing “outrage” will not and cannot “win” against the right. Liberals will lose in that mode. Conservatives own the genre.

perhaps encouraging conservatives to engage with the substance of liberal policies ... means keeping conservatives out of the presence of perceived threat.

Honestly I feel like this is a bit of a subtweet directed towards folks, especially people of color and queer folks, who should be smashing pies in Pence’s face and not pretending to engage with him on policies for which he advocates that are literally destroying them.

Being nice and civil to conservative leaders who are, at best, destroying American democracy and entire communities, while literally preventing my family members from entering the country, is something that someone completely unaffected by his racism and homophobia would suggest.

Sure but Pence is well trained in his talking points and blatant disregard for the facts being presented to him the manner you describe. Don’t see him actually changing his mind. Just looking like he should listen because the doctor is being polite. Not sure he got through to him

But given the thousand steps between message exposure, then attention, then encoding then blah blah blah and then attitude change, it’s certainly worth it to get a few steps farther down the chain no?

Absolutely correct about the need for calm. When conservs encounter libs “outrage” the assumption is “if you had an intelligent point you would have made it by now.” Freak-outs signal irrationality, akin to an ad-hominum.

Anger frightens them because they come from authoritarian families.
