Both sides are guilty of the things they accuse the other off. Everything the left hated Trump for, they themselves have been guilty of doing and vise versa. As I've said many times, the left and the right are the opposite side of the same coin but they don't have the self awareness to realise it.
Not sure if X7 is 'answering questions' or just commenting, but I had something I wanted to ask a Trump supporter: why was/is Trump so against our intelligence community, their findings, etc. It seemed he undermined the FBI, CIA, our top military generals, and (at times) the Justice Department every chance he got. I get some of it was the media hyping a narrative. I mean he sided with Putin regarding Russia in front of the world...
I am a left wing union organizer. We are totally fine until their passive aggressive Narc BS starts up. Like you see on this website day in day out. Once that starts it's game them constantly projecting their sh*t on to me. 9 times out of 10 they simply can not help themselves. With all this whiny herd mentality, weak arse perpetual victim BS. It takes a strong right winger not to descend in to ridiculous zero self esteem passive aggressive BS.
Despite what you see on social media and mainstream media in general most normal people can be friends, debate, etc with different beliefs only weirdos who take it to heart too much actually cut friends off for having different beliefs.
Very nice interview! Exit7 and I get along well, even though we are on opposite sides of the political spectrum. I like him for his reasoned opposition and great manners.
I might not agree with your views but you did at least out a great deal of cogent thought into this. That’s a refreshing approach coming from a liberal. That’s not something I see to often.

You aren't supposed to find common ground, we are supposed to stay divided and distracted to what's really going on. Trump, Biden, Obama, clinton, Bush all the same mere figureheads.
This is too long to read. Trump supporters are super easy to get along with. The problem is the people who are governed by their uncontrolled emotions. Logic must prevail.
To make inroads you have to join the "dark" side. Until term limits are across the board with each and every politician, and no life long appointments are made for anyone. You can't tell me with a straight face the left isn't too radical. It's a pissing match, but to be liberal is a disease, and cannot be tolerated.
Both sides are radicalized. It's why I stay off either team and stay centrist.
You however have clearly built a gimmick in your life around one man and hey, if that's as far as your 14 years have got you, that's understandable. Maybe when you mature you'll realize life is more than that.
That’s the problem today, rather than listening to people’s concerns (even if they are wrong and concerned about something that isn’t true) and addressing those concerns and showing them how and why they are incorrect! You just seem to WANT to assume the worst possible motive, and dismiss them as insane. Rather than realize that maybe they believe something because THEY were misled… SHOW them the truth! By engaging with people we disagree with, we can win them to the side of common sense! But don’t just dismiss them as a fringe lunatics… would YOU ever be persuaded by someone calling you a Racist or a NAZI or a Liar, or a crazy person?
I appreciate the civil discourse but i am constantly frustrated by folks lack of understanding of history

You are my enemy, woman. There will never be any reconciliation, there will never be any negotiation. You have made yourself my enemy. No forgiveness, No mercy. You and the weak men brought this upon yourself.

Nicely done, maybe next time maybe interview an independent, someone don't vote Dem or Rep
Honestly I may want to interview you at some point unrelated to politics
I would love to see that. @humanearth is a very interesting guy.
@exitseven & @ez-bri-z thanks to the both of you

Political beliefs are like assholes - they mean very little to anyone else other than the individual and the person who wants to wreck yours.
People who live and die by political beliefs are not really people you need interest yourself with, as they are rarely interesting people.
That's the common ground. Just as we nowadays laugh off and sideline religious nuts. So the new group of political nuts needs the same treatment.
Nope. Libtardism is a disease I can't put up with.
That is the division that has been created. That is the common ground, and it's now become a war.

I don't get along with him even though he's suppose to be on my side, now that can really tick a guy off.
Our biggest failing in society today is the unwillingness to listen.
If we could only hear each other out, we might find common cause.

TL;DR if you think you get along with Trump supporters they wait till they can talk behind your back.
That's the chance I will take to make inroads into this divide this country is experiencing.

Centrist, feminist, and LGBT are all contradictory and the last two are far left. Which is fine, its just not centrist.
I'm also for small government, reducing the amount of welfare we give out, and a strong military.
I'm a centrist
Great job not hitting back on @exitseven’s bullsh^t. This is how Trump won in the first place and why most of his supporters believe absolute lies.
I clearly provided statistics and this isn't the full interview. I'm here to disagree but not to tear a friend down and make him look bad
Even though it’s blatant falsehoods.

Lmao gosh this sounds like my kids trying to act tough.
Are you stomping your foot too?
@ez-bri-z must be Ming the Merciless, or at least his fluffy hamster throwing a paddy fit
What did we bring upon ourselves is my question? A freeze ray or maybe a shrinking ray?
About the equality act, remember jessica yaniv and "wax my balls, you bigot!"?
So nobody else should try to get along because of a single person trying to radicalize her sexuality around her identity?
"Try to get along" is also completely different from forcing other people's speech and labor.
No, the point is, legally she was right because the legislation was written to give her that right and got a shit ton of settlements because of it.
It's worst than "forcing a jew to treat a nazi", it's forcing a random citizen to perform brain surgery.
And it wasn't just her, it was a whole swathe of people like her.
you need to hear this:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/jLLn5tTeAFIYou are bringing up Christine Blasey Ford again? Libtards cease to amaze.
