Ofc they do. Most people want to be good people. They're not trying to cause harm. That's why we approach deradicalisation by first gaining an understanding of the issues people face and the reasons they believe what they do. Your average conservative is just a dumb bigot... they're not trying to be hateful they're just ignorant.
the best way there has ever been to open minds and hearts is getting to know one another
it's ain't fair for a minority of any type but it's the only peaceful way and it's the most effective way
people are more accepting of LGBTQ because their family and friends came out and that connection builds that bridge eventually
same thing with race
yelling at people doesn't work, escalating situations and violence doesn't work
taking the time to connect to one another's humanity eventually works in most people, doesn't always build a big ass bridge but it'll give you a little stick one big enough to walk on through
