“Thank you for being willing to push back on the group think and echo chambers that so many find themselves drawn into! So refreshing. I found myself nodding and agreeing out loud as I drove and listened. I’m a freedom loving Christian conservative who is so over all the hatred, labeling, and unwillingness to engage with others who might look or think differently, across the political spectrum. Our culture and heritage is rooted in the ability to disagree in a civil and thoughtful way, and I fear for our future if more people aren’t willing to break away from hero worship and media personalities and appreciate the nuance and perspectives of others, on both left and right! While I may disagree profoundly with a person’s politics or lifestyle, I can engage with them first of all as a fellow human being, find areas of common ground to connect with, and if the situation calls for it, debate based on facts and reason, rather than descending into emotional and tone-deaf attacks. It’s a hard thing, but we can do it! Our culture and future depend on it.”
