The downvotes here are stupid. I have a conservative friend and we always ask each other questions about why each side feels one way or another. It is a good way to find common ground. It is also a good way to understand what is going on.
Is your conservative friend part of a hate cult?
MAGA is a hate cult, so yes. I still am interested in his opinion. He is interested in mine. We both think Kirk was a hit to distract from Epstein files. The GOP voted against the release that day. We both also disagree with funding for Israel, but for different reasons. We both are upset that Epstein files have been hidden. He has pretty much turned on Trump because of it.
We are also both really tired of establishment politicians being bought constantly. I dislike most dems now. Especially ones like Pelosi or Shumer. My frind complains about RINOs. You can find common ground.
The difference is my friend is a real person and not a bot. Those conservative forums are filled with rage bots that disable people's emotional regulation and incite violence. That's one thing I hope we can keep away. I think liberal rage bots exists too, though.
