Fixing people's opinions is very difficult because they are mostly made emotionally and the idea of a person being harassed or abused is emotional fire while the idea of an innocent person accused (especially since they are often people of "power") is often met with apathy at best.
Many people just support removing constitutional rights, and consider sometimes removing them from some people to be an improvement in that direction even if it's not total victory.
That is going to the supreme court this year. Hopefully it will affirm rights.
My safety versus someone else's rights?
Convince someone that they'll never be the "other" and rights become a far away theoretical concept.
