Eh..........
This might work at a micro, local scale. But it does not work nationally or even regionally.
One side is rabidly homicidal, public stating they'll kill people who are different from them.
You simply can't love these people to death. Because they will continue to kill while you reason with them.
First. We're talking about bigots, not murders. Those are two separate groups. It's prejudicial to assume all bigots are murders.
Second. You can't "reason" with them, because their position isn't based on reason, but emotion. You simply be kind to them. Be their friend. Let them realize on their own, that __________ aren't all the bad things they imagine.
What do bigots want to have happen to the people they hate?
As someone who grew up in a conservative family in a religious town and is now liberal, there is a wide spectrum of bigots. Some of them would happily enact halocaust 2, and some of them just get nervous when they see a black person on the street at night. I have a number of family members that fall in that later category.
That depends on the bigot.
Some simply don't want to associate with __________.
Some want __________ to live in separate places.
Some want __________ to learn to not be __________.
And many who may want __________ to die, don't want to be the ones who actually do the killing themselves.
It's only a quite small portion of bigots who have killed anyone. Bigotry is a much more common problem than murder.
