    Responded to another person below. One idea is to have them in jobs programs where they work among committed socialists in a limited capacity where they can’t sabotage anything or hurt anyone.

      And how does that isolate them from connecting with other reactionaries where they’ll revert? They still have free time out of the workplace unless you’re doing incarceration.

        Coopt their trusted sources. Post-revolution Fox News will keep operating, but use the reaction to guide them in directions that are less destructive and away from counterrevolution. Let them vote™ and fight the power in ways that can be entirely controlled.

        These aren’t brain geniuses we’re talking about here. Most won’t ever know their favorite schlop outlet has been hijacked. It is trivially easy to get most chuds to agree to communist ideas if drenched in “own the libs” dressing.

        All these people do IRL is regurgitate whatever they last heard on Fox, Infowars, or whatever their preferred flavor of reactionary news is. No incarceration needed if you convince these people that the global pedophile cabal is your hand curated list of scumbag landlords and finance capital leaches. Imprisioning them would only strengthen the forces of reaction. Better to guide them in a useful direction.
