I’m with you on the all or none mob mentality.

Some people don’t get that you will do better to communicate with people than you will to communicate at them.

Dismissing anti-Vaxxers as crazy lunatics will only push them further to the fringes.

Just like Chris Matthews and his ilk called all Romney supporters racists just pushed them further to the right and now we have Trump.
