Would it be more accurate to say, the people that currently demonise their opponents, really shouldn’t, and should be encouraged to engage more. |  | | |

We've spent years indulging the Very Real Concerns of the terminally stupid and prejudiced. What it's led us to is celebrating the departure of a white supremacist from the presidency of the world's most powerful nation across the Atlantic and a rabble of incompetent bigots leading us from disaster to disaster.
What we SHOULD be encouraging people to do maybe is encouraging people to engage with their brains, sense of empathy, compassion and critical thinking faculties a tad more, maybe. [Post edited 8 Nov 2020 11:10]

indeed.
20+ years ago: "What's the point in voting? politicians are all the same anyway"
Today, when talking about the blandest, most-centrist candidate I can ever remember: "How could you vote for the child-rapist?! He's going to turn us into a socialist hell-hole and sell us out to China!"
Facebook has a lot to answer for. The above was a genuine quote from my wife's Facebook feed by somebody I know to be a real person and to actually think like that.
Whilst I love the sentiment of compromising and learning to disagree etc, any idea how you can engage with someone like that? And there's a lot more of them out there than you'd like to think |  | | |

your first sentence illustrates the problem perfectly. it is also entirely inconsistent with your final sentence. | |

I've engaged my critical thinking faculties and come to the conclusion that trying to engage with a lot of these people is a waste of time because they don't want to exercise any empathy or compassion, if that helps. | |

Not really. The quote does not say not to disagree. MLK Jr knew that full well. But it simply says we can choose not to be disagreeable. We are more likely to be listened to and impactful if we can avoid the personal attacks and deal in facts.
I know the quote is for me as much as for others.
Now is a time to unite and not to divide. I can't imagine that would have been anywhere close to Trump's acceptance speech had he won and Biden has his work cut out. | |

The majority of protests across the US were non-violent and have aided throwing a white supremacist out of the WH.
You decided for balance or God knows what reason spreading the propaganda of said White Supremacists was the hill to die on.
I’d probably address that one on a personal level before diving into the moral high ground so quickly. [Post edited 8 Nov 2020 12:50]
