Do you really think that by berating people on SW you will get them to change their feelings about politics?

It doesn't matter what your view is, if you vote I will respect your right to have it.
So if someone votes for an openly self-identified Nazi, you're cool with that as long as they voted? I think maybe, just maybe, you may want to reassess your priorities.

Gee whiz Ivan. Show me where anyone I voted for self identified themselves as a Nazi and I'll buy you a dinner.

@Jackjjacksonjr: I'm sure he was thinking of Hillary when Hillary praised "friend and mentor" Robert Byrd ;)

Who once said this:

Byrd became the leader of a KKK chapter when he was 24-years-old because he didn’t want to fight alongside “race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds,” during World War II.

“I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side,” vowed Byrd in a 1944 letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS).

It's more to annoy them than to change them. Tis the way of the troll.

It isn't just a conversation or an argument. TrumpLovers are full of fear and hate and they want to hurt others.
THEBIGM · 61-69, M
That goes for both side I think and you're helping make my point
hunkalove · 61-69, M
@THEBIGM: I don't think it goes for both sides. Trump is evil. Resisting evil is not evil.

*speechless*

thebigm yes I do not mind a friendly general discussion on the subject but some get a bit uppity if you criticise the person they support or you do not agree with there thinking but people are different and have different views which makes us unique from other creatures far as respect that is true but some are just damn right rude or simply block you if you cannot see there point of view
THEBIGM · 61-69, M
Its not the seeing of points of view.
They want all to AGREE with their point of view... or you're the devil
I can see many points of view and the reasoning behind them, I can tolerate almost any lifestyle choice, preference or predilection. I see value in almost every person I come across.
I'm not close minded to listening and I research all my own facts, and check the "facts" that others espouse. I just don't think that internet rants help a chosen position from any aspect.

Changing anyone's mind? Highly unlikely. More likely is providing information for those without it and pointing them in the right direction should they so desire.

👍
smiler2012 · 61-69
thebigm I like your thinking it is a pity on here particularly there are not more people with a more broad minded and liberal approach to general discussion

Sometimes I think they're getting paid by the other side to make the view they claim to support look ridiculous.

No, but it makes the person doing the berating look like a complete buffoon.

Nope. I just hope shame and ridicule will do the trick 😊
Some points of view are repugnant by definition. Racism, sexism and pedophilia fall into that category, for example. There's no "pro" side that I feel the need to respect. Electing Trump, from my perspective, meant our country can't ever claim that racism or sexism is a deal-breaker in choosing a candidate.

@CopperCicada: so we work on separating the two. It's hard work

Not at all I* happen to beliieve no opinion is ever despit certain philosophical differences I may have with some

I think that, deep down, some people feel that bludgeoning others with their point will affect some kind of change. See also "media".
