I’ve been saying this bc ive noticed it too; when you approach people with tension inside yourself, you’re met with tension. If you make it pleasant, not so serious, but can still say your two cents, it makes all the difference in the world.
I used to get angry and tense when discussing politics with my liberal co-workers and it was always tense because of the assumption of disagreement. These days, I joke around, say my piece, keep it light and everyone continues on with their day bc they know I don’t “hate” them for their views; I just have a different perspective
Can’t do it with everyone, some people are just way too angry, but I think a majority of both sides could use some light heartedness.
