re: The MSM and radical left selling fear...a real life example

While I agree, it is also "our" fault for being so insular.

Many people live in an echo chamber of their own "thought" kind.


I am so happy that I was encouraged to not just 'accept' different views but to SEEK them out. I purposely befriend people with different positions and invite them to dinners, etc. It is why my best friends simply happen to be gay. I put myself in positions to interact with them and learned that they are the best people I know.


Therefore, when I hear "gay people want to steal our children and rape them into gayness"...I know the ridiculousness of it because I interact in the "group"


My dad made it a PURPOSE to introduce me to successful "white folk" so that I KNEW they did not want to keep a foot on my neck. They welcomed my curiosity and ENCOURAGED me to succeed. He told me that he wasn't eloquent enough to explain it to me. I needed to experience it and to go outside of my "comfort zone" to learn about others.


Tell your family member to go out of her way to interact with Republicans / conservatives and she will quickly learn they are just folks.
