Probably not a good idea to phrase it as "earned" retractions.
It shouldn't be a competition to see who is the worst.

A Congressional probe said Chinese cargo cranes used at U.S. seaports had embedded technology that could allow Beijing to secretly control them.
HAHAHAHAH
... latest Chinese hack, which compromised systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests.
Only WE get to spy on our people! No fair! You aren't allowed to know who we're spying on!
China-backed hackers outnumber all of the FBI’s cyber personnel at least 50 to 1, according to the U.S. agency.
The USA's education system isn't all that great and our IT infrastructure is pretty much based on extracting time/energy/money from its users instead of being a secure tool for information sharing.
Complicating the West’s response: Unlike with autocracies such as Iran or Russia, trade with China has for decades supported Western economic growth, which in turn underpins the West’s long-term security.
That feeling when your economic system loses the information security game to somebody else on on the world stage due to the decisions influenced by your economic system... chef's kiss

Ukraine legacy is on display as the Administration refuses to level with Congress and the American public about its strategy to win the war.
I guess nobody really cares to keep up the act that the USA had nothing to do with instigating this war and keeping it going all these years anymore, huh?
Damn... reality needs to stop making my Uncle Ted right about things...
Probably going to need to search for communities that prioritize privacy and use crypto currencies to keep their transactions private instead of searching for crypto currency communities directly.
There is no guarantee they'll change their attitude no matter what you do.
If they aren't immediately shutting down any conversations you try to have with or around them about these topics, just keep having them.
If possible, "just be normal". Not everybody is a political junkie so their desire to have and express an opinion about things might just be very weak. Keep sending info to your friend but if its obvious that they aren't reading every 30,000 word article you find or watching every 10 hour YouTube video ... its probably a sign to be a bit more selective in what you're sending their way. Try fewer things, shorter in length and more directly to the point.
How often do you ask them what they think/feel about things that aren't directly related to something that you've been vocal about? Maybe there's a chance that they would like to talk about things but know they'd be steamrolled by the debate lords in the group.
I think this election will show a slow realignment of Arabs and Muslims toward Republicans.
Probably going to be a line between Arabs/Muslims who feel economically secure and those who don't. The racism and Islamaphobia are pretty well entrenched to the point of being foundational in the US right and I don't think that's ever going to change.
If its not economic what actually is there to attract Muslim or Arab voters to the Republican party or American conservatism?
They could have hand picked the most friendly, least controversial speaker
Pretty sure I heard the speaker give their speech on some other outlet and it was pretty tame and lib. The speaker already was friendly uncontroversial.
