We need to build bridges not burn them. Ostracizing Trump voters doesn't fix the divide in this country.

Good people can make mistakes. Good people can be mislead. Good people can believe in lies. We need to build community with these people. They are our neighbors, they are our family members, they are our friends.

Capitalism wants us all alienated. It wants us to abandon our tribe. And it wants us to go forward alone. We have to stop kicking people out of the tent. We need to welcome them.

We have all been lied to by our politicians. We have all been mislead about what they believe and what they stand for. You need to believe that people can come back from mistakes. Stop ostracizing people for who they voted for. Instead find a way to figure out how to build together.

Edit: GUYS WE ALL LEFT MAINSTREAM SOCIAL MEDIA BECAUSE IT'S A HYPERPARTISAN ECHO CHAMBER THAT ROTS YOUR BRAIN. WE ARE ALL ON THE FEDIVERSE BECAUSE WE MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO DO BETTER FOR OUR BRAINS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS SO HARD TO SEE THAT MOST PEOPLE'S BRAINS HAVE BEEN TURNED TO MUSH BY SOCIAL MEDIA. ITS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING THE ENTIRE FEDIVERSE USER BASE AGREES ON. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S HARD TO BE FORGIVING TO PEOPLE WHOSE BRAINS HAVE BEEN TURNED TO MUSH AND FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY LACK A HISTORICAL SENSE OF THE MOMENT, THEY LACK ANY SENSE OF SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING, NOR DO THEY HAVE A SENSE OF LOGIC.

We need to forgive people who get trapped in propaganda echo chambers. It's not something intrinsic to them. We have all literally been there.

You can choose who to associate with or not. However, I ask that you allow others the same privilege.

I think by cutting off contact/dialogue, you're really hurting someone who could benefit from your better views. You shouldn't ever remove your ability to provide charity by simple thought exchange.

*cop

Just like the Clintons and Hunter Biden. Epstein was a cop, too. Mossad, technically. That's why he's still alive.

Proud boys are feds, too. It's like we live in a police state or something...where the state is police...and thus we're lied to for grander investigative purposes. Cuz who do you think of the millionaires club around the world offered Trump a big, stinky bribe or offer or deal of some sort? The FBI knows who offered to rent out their children now because of this thing called "strategy."

Until foreigners apply that to US citizens in general. Then we’re expected to respect the individual who voted otherwise?

Ostracising people for who they voted for pushes them further and isolates them to echo chambers where they become more extreme

The biggest impact you can have is ongoing casual and fair discussion of candidate policy and the effect on them going forward

When you put them on the defensive the natural response is to clamp down on their views harder
