The world isn't made up of "these people" or "those people", it's made up of varied individuals -- friends, families, and neighbors. When one is using "those" kinds of phrases, it's pretty clear that one is thinking of stereotypes, and not individuals. One would be rightly excoriated for saying "these people" to refer to a race or an orientation, and the same should be true for a culture or a party.

So I can’t say “these people” when referring to the ones who stormed the capitol or support that treasonous act because they wrongly believe the election was stolen? Is that really just as bad as referring to black people as “these people?”

Either way that’s besides the point, I wish I had your optimism but I doubt you’ll convince anyone who is dug in and truly believes trump won this election. If you do please let me know and I’ll apologize fervently to your friends and neighbors.
