Social change is created by social friction. It always has been and always will be.

And you're right, we won't change the bigots and pull them out of bigotry. But they're not the point. The goal is to challenge the social norms that they are creating, because it's those norms that create new bigots.

The existence of those norms makes bigotry possible, but I really don't think that the norms are the biggest driver here. I believe that we are being intentionally pitted against each other. I think that is the real cause .

Again, I will point out that social friction is how social change is brought about. Always. Every single time.

What you're asking for is to sustain the status quo, and that status quo wants us dead.

Are there leagues of liberals uniting with conservatives and solving our common issues?

Would that be the status quo?

More than one way to skin a cat my friend.

Divided, we fall.

They want us dead. It doesn't get much more divided than that

So.. what you're saying is.... They want us dead?

Just fn with ya. I get where you're coming from. It makes sense.
