(28,979 posts)Do you also refuse to speak to any friends or relatives in your real life who voted for Trump? I know some who did. I am trying not to hate them for their unwise choice like I did during Bush years when I refused to speak to them. This time, I hope to educate them and win them over maybe.
Not sure I can with the hardcore deplorables, but some of the others seem capable of change. Should we reach out or just hit them with ugly sticks like people did to the Neo-Nazis and the Klan? Hitting those on the fence, however, will not win them over. And it sounds like we need them. Isn't that what coalition building is all about? Different groups trying to find common ground?
I get what you are saying about purity. I am guilty of having sometimes expected that. I am trying to change. But DUers keep trying to enforce the same thing. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to share your views with me. I appreciate it.
