About half of the people I know are this way, and the other half, that way. I put out factual information, publicly and respectfully (no name calling, degrading, or condescending remarks), and let them digest on their own time. While tempted to "drop" people with diverging views, I haven't because I know they are the ones that need to hear it the most. I always let them know I'm open to discussing, even through direct messaging. I also send direct messages just to say how are you in hopes deeper conversation comes about or at a minimum, I mention to please view my public posts. So many people still in the dark. Work to do is far from over.

whether my view or under standing the other sides. Bending to a banding the laws of this country is a non starter for me. I've talked with many. You can't have a conversion with someone who will not listen even after taking time to listen to them. Rising ones voice and yelling is not a argument. I listen to D'Souza story where he was giving a talk and people on one side kept talking over D'Souza. Fascists do this. Brown shirts did this. Any way possible to shut up the other side. Look at the View, CNN, MSNBC they do the same do not allow one to have a voice if it doesn't match theirs.
