I thought that message was pretty clear. Tired or all social media sites just forcing people into silos including this one.

Absolutely. It's important that Truth and Goodness is praised wherever it is found, and the opposite is called out, wherever it is found.
There is a disheartening trend by "conservative influencers" to ridicule those from the opposite political aisle either because of their history, some presumed ulterior motive, or whataboutism, even when what they say is correct.
It bothers me that so many conservatives idolize people like Dan Bongino who spews contempt and hatred towards those he disagrees with.
Fauci is guilty of some deeply evil acts against humanity, but if he gets on camera and says something true (hypothetically), I will agree with it. Not because I think he's turned over a new leaf, but because it's not an impossibility, and more importantly, it works to create a bridge to the ignorant that like such figures.
Finding common ground gets harder and harder with each generation of Marxists and their ignorant followers, but it is possible. And when you get to those common underlying beliefs that almost everyone shares you can have a real relationship and conversations that may lead the person away from their wrong beliefs, or even you away from yours.
You will often find that the vast majority of people with completely differing ideologies have disagreements rooted in understandings of words, not ideas.
To use one trending example:
"Black lives matter" to liberals means that we need to focus on injustice against Black people, and that all lives don't matter if Black lives don't matter, because they've been mislead to believe there is a disproportionate amount of violence against Black people.
Consequently, while conservatives proclaim in response "all lives matter" because they do, liberals turn in disgust from the slogan -- not because they don't believe that all lives matter -- but because they view it as a response created specifically to undermine the movement that calls attention to the great injustice taking place against Black people.
Most will refuse evidence that counters what they "feel" and will ignore the statistics that show that, in general, there is no systemic oppression of Black people based on their race. But many will and have see the truth and turn their energy towards the real oppressors.
There is a lot of bait being thrown in the waters to further divide people, especially as the government NEEDS to create the "threat of white nationalism."
DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT
There is of course a disproportionate rate of violent behavior from Black people, but that is a matter of evolution compounded by the fact that Democrats that have continued to oppress and segregate them for centuries. Government handouts create entitlement. The music industry props up thug idols for boys and whore idols for girls, creating generations of thugs and whores. But this is not a necessary fate, and many have and continue to pull themselves out of this "ghetto mire."
Even if you believe that your "race" somehow has some superiority over others, all that should mean is that you've been equipped to better SERVE those who are straggling behind. As the Master Jesus washed the feet of the sinners who shared dinner with him, so you who knows better ought to do everything in your power to lovingly help your fellow man, White, Black, or of any other disposition, to evolve.
Bravo anon, more of this please!
