I totally understand that online is not the best place to engage. And, believe me, I know I would get annihalted on Truth Social. I'm talking about real life. With friends or neighbors. The more we dehumanize each other, the worse things get.

Then Kevin go preach that to them. They’re not welcome here. As you said, you know you’d get annihilated on truth social. And what do you think they’ll try to accomplish here? Just today alone I’ve had to block and report nazis posting on here. So what are you trying to learn from them?
I'm 100% on your side when it comes to Nazis, trolls, etc. They have no place here (or anywhere, really). Those aren't people who can have a civilized discussion. But there are undoubtedly real people around all of us who we just might be able to engage with if we start with kindness.
And that’s where you are wrong Kevin. They are nazis. They’re not here for civil discussions. Again most of us were on twitter and engaged those conservatives. Go under any of major conservatives posts and what do you see? Nothing but hatred. They have twitter and truth social. They can stay there.
I think we're talking about two things now. I'm all for keeping trolls out of here. But I'm not for cutting people out of our *offline* lives simply because they voted the wrong way.
Kevin: you don’t believe conservatives are bad people. I do.I listen to them.I interact with them. They have nothing to offer the world besides hate. That is it. You’re a white man so I don’t blame you. You probably have family members who wears the white hoods. I get it. But please spare us the bs.
Where are you getting the idea that "offline" conservatives don't have an online presence? I grew up in the Bible Belt and these people act the same in real life as they do online. In some cases they're even worse.
No. I feel like your statement implies that you feel many of us haven’t tried to do that. I spent my life hearing the bigotry & hate that my family was spewing & it only got worse after Trump.
They’re “Christian” and can’t even love queer family members. They have also been yeeted from my life!
