I really think any change is going to come from exposure. Like the gays. As more and more people came out of the closet, more and more people MET actual people that they’d only been hearing about from the spittle-spreading firebrands on the pulpit. It becomes less and less of a ‘thing’ because people make up their own mind
Reminds me about what happened in Vichy France, when the regime started to release lists of Freemasons: people learnt that the local schoolteacher was a Mason, that the doctor was in the Lodge, along with other regilar and normal people. Eventually, authorities understood that their campaign was counterproductive.
