What beliefs of yours and theirs differ?

Speaking only for myself, anyone saying environmental regulations should be rolled back would get a long discussion about why the regulations were important, and if they said "so what if poor people die" they'd be cut off. If they said "but corporations will do the right thing eventually" they'd be thought of as naive and not cut off but cut back.

If anyone tried to say that DEI or woke is bad because "it gives the gays and the blacks special rights" they'd be cut off. At this point it's just bigotry.

It's usually small things like our views on abortion, the economy, or diplomacy. I'm sure we can agree on a lot of things, but the unfortunate truth is that people worry too much about 'differences' rather than what we have in common.
