These outrage elements on the right and the left cannot have a dialogue
because they lack knowledge of Civics, science, critical thinking,
history, compassion, understanding and patience. They also have zero
capacity to broaden their understanding of any position that threatens
their grand assumptions.
It's rather funny because it reminds me
of middle school or elementary school. The pumped up bravado of the
bully right after they thought they had just done something big in the
playground . . . which was usually right before they were seen running
away crying.
The difference here is that this is social media.
These people will never face the music. They have the safety of the
distance that the internet and their prolonged and sustained ignorance
and their outrage posse has given them.
I have great compassion for them. It is a very difficult path they are willingly taking.
Most
of us are actively engaged in trying to reach these people because we
want progress in this country. Regardless of political affiliation, we
want the whole country to prosper. We don't want losers in America or
for people we disagree with to be punished because they have a
dissenting opinion.
So, have compassion for them. They are human beings, they deserve it.
