Positive-sum Relations: Can you coexist with the other side?

[tommy]

I've worked with and been friends with people with all kinds of beliefs - including full on Trumpers. It can be challenging, but there's always common ground to be found.

Does anyone still believe in this? Seems like this was how the western world behaved for generations post WWII and then sort of gave up on it in the 10-15 years.

I think you have your answer. Lock it up!

I have some conservative acquaintances and get along fine, but we don't talk much politics. The voices prevalent in the culture at large don't generally align with them, but further right points of view have been popping up more post COVID.

Are any of them actual friends or just acquaintances?

I know what words mean and I choose them accordingly.

Paging new'ish RMer Vitalogist - can you please weigh in on this?

I’m here to learn and engage. I’m sure I don’t know anyone here well enough to pass any judgment

[Vitalogist]

I do hope I can learn from some honest and open conservatives here about why they support Trump.

It's not a rule I make. They know I'm liberal. I know they're conservative. We don't feel the need to argue.

It kinda feels polítics are very divisive and polarized everywhere I go; and this is a trend it got worse after the pandemic.

The thing here is that all the MAGA simply assumes that everyone else is like it’s the default setting. Very frustrating.

Just nod and smile. It's not worth it.
