I generally agree. There have always been far more bridges crossed with kindness and understanding than there have been in othering your neighbors.
However like we’ve said, the issues everyone disagrees on are also very real, visceral, and part of of an every growing divide that happens naturally in democratic environments.
Too many people forget that you can compromise on a lot, but once you’ve gone through everything, you end up with stances that cannot be budged on. They’re antithetical to how your entire worldview may work. And that’s fine to draw the line, but don’t mistake it for something you can’t whittle away at. Knowledge and understanding can get past a lot it, and sometimes, you never will. But it doesn’t make it NOT the best avenue for non-violent change.
