Meghan McCain's recent departure from "The View" and her comments on her experiences there has made me realize something I never thought about.

While on Sean Hannity's show, Meghan spun a similar to story to what Dave Rubin has been saying for years, something along the lines of "I spent a significant amount of time around people who were at least nominally liberal and they weren't very nice to me, but my experiences around conservatives has been the total opposite." Listening to that made me realize that a great many times I've argued politics with people, they'll tell me that people of one belief are mean and nasty to them while people of another belief are welcoming and accepting. And now I'm thinking, does it really matter? If I were to meet every single person who agreed with my politics and they were jerks to me, and then I met every single person who is strongly opposed to my politics and they were really nice to me, would that change my opinion? Because it shouldn't, but at the same time, human nature might make it difficult to stick to convictions in a hypothetical situation like that.
