    Did the entire party storm the capital? You’re no better than Trump when it comes to prejudice.

        Some of them did. It’s not fair to treat any group as a monolith.

        And feel free, coward.

            You’re afraid to have a discussion with them. You’re afraid to have a discussion with me. People are going to disagree sometimes, and that’s ok. The path of the coward is to cut people out forever.

                I would encourage you to be respectful regardless. No one will hear you if you are treating them with contempt.

                Personally I think that low taxes and small government are valid perspectives. Unfortunately many Republicans are really only in favor of those things in theory, as long as they apply to liberal ideas. Regardless, I think it’s important to treat them as human, listen to their concerns and respectfully point out their hypocrisy when it happens. In the end, everyone is trying to do what is best for themselves and their families, and are only viewing problems and solutions through the echo chamber in which they take part. The way forward will involve listening, respect, and a bit of compromise.

                    There is not much point in engaging in discussion with someone who thinks they have an entire group of people all figured out. It’s a LOT of people. Treat them as individuals. Be well.
