Maybe take a few minutes to talk to the other side to better understand their thoughts and why they have such thoughts. Sadly I’ve noticed understanding and tolerance of diverse perspectives went out the window lately.

To be clear, sadly, “lately” covers a longer time than the current administration.

I do and did. In my youth one of my best friends slowly became a neo nazi, with lines like: "foreigners should be herded together and exterminated".

After one particular discussion he conceeded: "I know you're factually correct, but I don't care, because this is what I want". And this is the point were further discussion was useless.

Elon Musk did a Nazi salute on stage at the presidential inauguration. I really don't care about understanding those thoughts or the thoughts of those who willingly excuse that behavior.

I'm not going to be another Nazi at the table.
