Hi, Tiffany - while I agree that differing opinions don’t make mortal enemies, sleight of hand with the truth needs to be countermanded.
So perhaps a polite correction? I'm not a democrat, so I feel awkward stating "hey, I don't hate you or want you dead, so it's not appropriate to make such a broad, untrue statement." Putting everyone on ignore just perpetuates the problem.
I agree. That's why I said something. My hope is that it would foster discussion rather than a dog fight.
The discussion of how to handle something blatantly untrue? What is your suggestion if the person you are talking with is deep into conspiracy theories?
Their assertion of "fact" is an expression of their feeling. Better to ask why they feel that way, see if they are open to discussion, etc. I've had a lot of conservatives express similar sentiment to me, but also that it wasn't how they wanted to feel.
There will always be X% that just want a fight. My experience has been the vast majority feel increasingly isolated and really want to feel like we are still in the same country. Calling names, responding to vitriol with vitriol, etc doesn't fix that.
