I'm ex republican. Higher education and having my life ripped apart by our state's AG fixed me... barely. Compassion won't fix these people. They fucking suck to their core and would rather die than change their opinions. I don't have a good solution. Platforming the stupid in our country is a large part of the problem.

    I guess you make a good point that dire situations often change minds. That might be the more likely thing to happen than people having conversations again, unfortunately.

    It's such a hard topic to discuss because everyone has varying exposure to how much ground empathy can gain. After living it, I can say that they are more lost than most people think.

    So start treating them the way they will treat you. Personally I'll leave someone to die if they have a Trump sticker/flag/hat/etc, because they would do the same to me.
