    IME this just leads to “yeah, but ours will be different/better!” type responses like…

    “Politicians suck, but ours are good”

    “Stop giving out all these services with our tax dollars but don’t touch our Medicare”

    “Gay marriage shouldn’t be legal, but my gay daughter is fine.”

    “Immigrants are evil, except for the waiter at my favorite Mexican restaurant, he is one of the good ones”

    I/Me/Mine is ALWAYS the exception to every rule for them.

    So the NEW mainstream, MY mainstream, will be different and tell the REAL truth.
