Yay, let's get this country together and fix thing-NO!

The way in which right-wingers want to "fix" things is wrong.

I really think you should turn off the internet and go talk to real people. This attitude is toxic.

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I actually do talk to real people. Most of my family are right wingers. They’re wrong. Sorry.

[–] TheFonz@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never said they were right.

This is a good point to stop and reflect if you are projecting a lot of qualities unto others before you know anything about them. The ability to listen compassionately will take you far in life but you have to be willing.

The attitude that people can be "talked" out of their political views over the course of a single conversation is ludicrous.

[–] TheFonz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

A single conversation? Very unlikely. Over several? Yes, absolutely.
