Stage 1: Denial - "It's not happening"
Stage 2: Reluctant Admission - "It's happening, but it's a small handful of fringe"
Stage 3: The Conspiratorial - "It's happening, but it's outside foreign/domestic agitators who are someone else"
Stage 4: The Full Admission - "It's happening, but it's not important and here is why"
Stage 5: The Actual Sentiment - "It's happening, but here's why what they're saying is a good thing"
