If you have a religious chud in your family make sure to pretend to be on their side and say how ai companies are trying to replace preachers with a big TV screen of ai Jesus. Or something like that, regardless they latch on to that kind of stuff and often drag everyone with them in those communities.

And there are plenty actual examples of stuff like this where the Vatican doesn't like ai, and weird other stuff about churches making ai Jesus or whatever. Just find a issue that related to them to get under their skin, because they are spiteful you just have to direct it. Two old racists ladies in their 70's with enough time on facebook groups can spend aaaaalllll day just arguing online on your behalf. Maybe its not about a argument you care about, or maybe the old ladies aren't very good at it, it doesn't matter. You made that change in your local community and those people will hopefully be slightly more open to being distrustful of whatever else and vote with us on issues against big tech.

The religious right are doubling down on trump or becoming so disillusioned that they are primed to believe the next thing they're told like charlie kirk was a inside job, or whatever else is hot for them right now. That kind of alex Jones stuff is mainstream now and its really popping off. Maga is down hard and many of them are vulnerable and scared due to the war, gas prices, affordability crises whatever. So just start contributing more to that while they are open to the idea before the media catches up and they start pushing Vance. They vote hard with common issues like flock. They're not your allies just rile them up a little, its their natural state of being its fine for them.

The only issue with this line of reasoning is that voting doesn't really matter on issues like this. We are getting this if we want it or not, convincing us is merely a P.R. excersize.
