Honest question, how will you treat the people running from the more lefty leaning areas? A lot of us are being forced to move from our homes because jobs, covid stuff, and an overall breakdown is happening around us. It's weird to even admit to it, but every description of a refugee also describes many people moving away from these shit holes.

Honestly, and I've said this before, forgiveness is our strongest and most unique weapon against the Left. They do not know how such a thing works, and they do not understand forgiveness without submission.
I'm not saying to ignore those who would strike at you, but what I'm saying is make it a teachable moment for all former Leftists of all stripes. Your job should be both to educate them, and introduce them to the benefits of responsibility, stoicism, individualism, and a genuine community. Show them that forgiveness means: a genuine apology, an understanding that forgiveness is earned through action, and that it is a selfless act based on your victims faith in you as a person.
We have to teach them what it's like to be a free people instead of slaves and dependents, but I repeat myself. We have to teach them how to free themselves. We must help them find a new emotional identity outside of Leftist ideology. Then, and only then, when they have individual freedom and a sense of meaning to match their self-worth, can they be cured of Leftism and Collectivism as a plague.
The Leftist Elites of this country have engaged in an industrial scale psychological and emotional abuse operation the world has never seen before. This will take time to fix and cure, and we have to use a strategy they can't subvert, co-opt, or mimic. It will involve demonstrating the importance of dueling paired concepts: strength & mercy, freedom & responsibility, individualism & community.
I like this way of thinking.
And it's the only line of thinking that the Left can't actually mimic. Like Kamala Harris attempting to smile, it doesn't work because they don't understand the fundamental concept.
