Malcolm_Caradoc posted...Vertania posted...It's still crazy to me that I feel like I can't even say "our president is not that bad" without fear of alienating people. Like, I always knew I had those few far right wing friends and family members who I knew not to talk about Obama around, but now it seems like mentioning Trump around anyone is like walking on eggshells.

Doom_Art posted...Mal_Fet posted...That's probably because it's a real, observable thing. That's not true. There are gay/bi, even trans (see Caitlyn Jenner) Trump supporters. Millions even, when you consider the number of that demographic in America and take into account those who may have supported Trump. Same with Hispanics. Despite Trump being supposedly "very very very racist and awful to Hispanics"---Trump had a larger Hispanic vote than Romney. A few million black citizens voted for Trump, too. There's enough black Trump supporters to populate the entire city of Houston, which is the 4th largest city in America. And that's not even including all of the mixed raced individuals who voted for him. --- "I think that man will be president right about the time when spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs in red capes" - Tom Hanks ...

Maybe because it reflects on your character to support someone who's a racist misogynist sexual assaulting Putinist authoritarian corrupt demagogue You're demonstrating my point exactly. Many people would be quick to start hurling substanceless "-ist" labels at the first mention of Trump, then shut down any discussion. Once you lay that card, they automatically assume everything you believe. Also, I make it very clear that I didn't vote for him, but that I'm still kind of happy he won and that I think he gets way too much shit. I wouldn't call that "supporting" him, so much as "giving him a chance." ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sorry you have to deal with that bullshit. I do disagree you won't convince them otherwise though, you probably know them better than most, with the right approach you're probably the only one who can change their mind. I won't pretend to know them so I won't suggest anything, my best advice is to appeal to their ethos, logos, or pathos though once you've identified it. I take a different approach with pretty much every person I meet (not saying you don't).

Going into the conversation expecting to change their mind is part of the problem. It's basically assuming that you're right and they're wrong, which is just going to make them think you're a pompous ass and push them farther away. I usually try to start by understanding why they believe what that do. If they give a half decent reason, I'll take it in, then give my input.

I say this as a left leaning libertarian If you're fiscally libertarian *and* you buy into conservative rhetoric about colleges, you probably aren't much of a left-leaning anything. Quite somber to see people continue to take up arms against higher education. In the 1950s, the powers-that-be poisoned people's attitudes toward universities by calling them founts of communism and Soviet-Russian infiltration. In the 1970s, they were depicted as riotous places due to the protests and civil disobedience against the Vietnam War which flourished on campuses. Now they are vilified because some of the students protest and petition against political activists they find detestable, which is well within their free speech rights to do. It seems every generation, there's a new excuse for people to bash universities -- and all to the political gain of right wing politicians, of course. The irony is that the people opposed to free speech aren't the students who petition and protest, but rather individuals like-minded to many in this topic, who would seek to infringe those rights in the name of "trampling safe spaces" or some such thing.

Kazi1212 posted... Trump himself has denounced those people who are prone to violence. Anyone who encourages violence against others are the product of beliefs that goes deeper than just political beliefs. Political support in the context of our conversation has more to do with policy like health care or tax reform. But those who advocate for violence goes much deeper than the political, it has more to do with their personal philosophy regarding respecting the dignity of others, at least imo it does. But liberals generally conflate trump supporters who advocate violence as if it's a political belief even though Trump himself has denounced such people --- You have to be high to understand Jon Stewart, he is pinker than an Indian river grapefruit.-Stephen Colbert ...
