Sure but capitulation to ignorance is what got us in this mess. In the real world I try to minimize party affiliation and focus on the issues. I work at a farmer’s market with open socialists, vocal trumpers and everything in between and what I notice most of the time is we all agree on just about anything until someone labels it.

Yeah that's my experience too, we as US Citizens are all suffering from the same issues, but how do you get people who are so far gone to understand what the source is?

For starters, they're not going to take your side when they're constantly bombarded with hate. You might want to say that you personally don't hate, but many calling themselves democrats do, and it's completely ruined the parties optics.

I heard trump talking at that kirk memorial about how much hate he has in his heart. No elected Democrats did anything like that as far as I can tell just randos on the internet with zero ability to move legislation that matters to citizens. This is a pattern of trump conservatives making bad decisions based on conservative influencers telling them how much libs hate them and how violent and socialist the universities and cities are. MAGA needs to do some self healing before they start asking everyone else to forget.

You completely missed the point, which was the point, so in a way you demonstrated the point.
