DISAGREEMENTS
Few things make one more miserable than that moment in an argument when you realize you’re wrong!
For that reason, two words have never been heard in debate, “I am wrong.”
Once you invest in a point of view, you’re done. In fact, research has shown that exposing people to contradictory facts only intensified their existing beliefs, making them more inflexible. You see this reality with participants on January 6th, opposing sides on the Supreme Court’s abortion decision, at your job and in your personal life.
If you want to be persuasive and impact someone’s misguided beliefs, you’d better start by agreeing with them. Only that approach can expose any unfrozen receptors and open potential for adjustment.

GUNS, PRO-LIFERS, AND ELECTION DENIERS
Millions being spent by Democrats to support election fraud, pro-life and Uzi-supporting Republican candidates?
W T F !
Of course, they do it in the hopes of getting unelectables as Republican nominees in the general election, or at least get more viable Republican challengers to burn through their cash defending themselves before facing a Democrat.
They are having so much fun with voters it gives them the giggles. You know, the same giggles Trump gets when surrounded by evangelicals he privately says are full of shit, scammers, and hustlers.
These Democrat 2.0 versions of Trump deserve an equal amount of your derision. If you do not think so, just imagine if this idea gets legs. Democrats funding extremist Republicans and Republicans funding extremist Democrats. That is a world you DO NOT want to see or in the end, live in.

Saw this little bumper sticker:
O M G > G O P> W T F
Wasn’t sure what it meant until someone steeped in this new language explained. It was then that I
LOL.
It made me think of those I had worked with, those Republicans I most respected in politics both in the Congress and state legislature.
I am not sure why I always got along better with Republican colleagues than my fellow Democratic ones, but it was always so. None were or ever would have been Trump-pets, and those that have passed on are certainly smoldering in their graves over that despicable, traitorous ass.
They were simply conservative, came to their judgements by experience and thinking often different than my own, and most notably, always fun, challenging, and educational to talk with. The result: contentions could be, if not resolved, at least adjusted, and advance toward a common goal.
