or just try being "interesting and informative" instead of confrontational:

Today, 58% of Republicans say they find talking politics with people they disagree with to be stressful, up 11 percentage points since 2019. Similarly, six-in-ten Democrats say they find such conversations stressful and frustrating, up from 53% in 2019. https://t.co/Kw6QaIiZqq pic.twitter.com/uCVYGfXz0o

and then there's "how about not judging by media' political stereotypes":

Setting off on a road trip around Appalachia, I wondered: my last-chance antebellum tour of MAGA-land before...a national crackup? Encountering nothing but the kindness of strangers, I was reminded that media bubbles are toxic and real life is therapeutic. https://t.co/ka49qXjJtT

Yeah, Trump and friends helped cause this, but does that mean you have to do the same?

and a few of the first agreeable replies to Geraldo

We need more of this from both sides. We have to say nice things about the people on the other side.

I’d rather people think nice things about people on the other side as there’s a much better chance of sincerity. But I’d sure take saying nice things as a place to start.

Say what you want about her politics, @AOC Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outshines every other member of Congress in eloquence and passionate sincerity.

More reasons why I do not

In reply to So laud and support her

More reasons why I do not take you seriously

State legislatures led by Republicans are changing election laws so that Republicans will always win

Republicans are telling the 13 Republicans who voted for the infrastructure bill that they will have to pay a price

They are kicking Cheney and Kinzinger out of the party.

Republicans are refusing to testify before Congress

They believe that Trump won the election

You see all this and say that I am spewing hate by stating facts.

In your mind, stating the truth makes me no different than the terrorists who attacked on January 6th

You are not making a logical argument.

So laud and support her

In reply to Wyoming Republicans are

So laud and support her instead of trying to gin up more support for hating Wyoming Republicans. Your hatred is so obvious sometimes it screams, to me you seem to be little different than Jan. 6 Trump partisans who screamed for the lynching of Pence.

The Republican leadership has

In reply to and you are completing the

The Republican leadership has completed the cycle.

They are willing to ignore the Constitution

They are elected officials so they have the power to create an authoritarian government, I do not

BTW, when they take over, you lose too.

Wyoming Republicans are telling us that Lynn Cheney is no longer a member of the GOP.

In reply to Republican partisan are

and you are completing the cycle by continuing the partisan hate and anger instead of being positive and supporting the more independent minded. this is what partisanship is for: fighting. they're just better at it than you, so you lose and they win. the only way out is to opt out. or keep fighting and losing

Kinzinger practicing what he

In reply to this wouldn't stop Americans

Kinzinger practicing what he's preaching:

Rep. Adam Kinzinger to Tucker Carlson: "You're a manipulative son of a bitch who abuses your viewers for your own personal profit." https://t.co/JXDzDwALWI

In reply to cancelled, like Kathy Griffin

Republican partisan are trying to create an authoritarian government. They are suppressing votes and giving legislatures power to overturn elections.

Republicans are inciting violence with the Big Lie

They refuse to hold Paul Gosar accountable

They definitely are not following Orion's prescription
