Is grant a serious question? Have you heard of the Q-Anon movement? Did you forget the build the wall campaign? Jailing Mexican immigrants in camps? The constant talk about BLM and Antifa rioting and looting? Constant calls for law and order? That’s their whole game.

It comes down to basic ideology. Dem ideology at its core is about protecting average working class people. Rep ideology is about stripping rights and protections away from poor and middle class people and protecting the rich.

Yeah in my opinion you are extremely off about this. Almost no trump supporters would agree with you.

Of course they wouldn’t agree, they obviously view the world from the perspective of a different planet entirely

Right, and you can't understand them until you can see it from their planet.

I think both of you are letting your backgrounds/upbringing blind you from seeing these people for who they really are.
Also seeing things from their perspective only serves to validate their perspective. You don’t treat schizophrenia by becoming schizophrenic.

I would love to experience schizophrenia so I could understand schizophrenics better tho. Experiencing it might help with knowing how to make their lives better.

You make a good point. Schizophrenia was a terrible example. That is a disease and not something people willingly sign up for.

Maybe a better example would be treating heroin addiction by going full Bubbles and becoming a heroin addict? 🤔

I am drawn to experiencing that yeah. If I could do that without ruining my life I would.

Ok so there’s a reason why you don’t do it. There’s a downside. Which brings us back full circle.
It sounds like this is less about understanding people than it is about just experiencing others’ experiences. If that’s what you like to do, nobody’s stopping you.

That seems like what understanding is, to me. It's being able to fully inhabit a different way of looking at the world.

I don't think this is exactly true - I think a super vivid imagination and selfless curiosity can be a pretty good proxy.
