> understand these Trump voters as generously as possible

Is this likely to be reciprocated?



Not sure how to say this in a way that doesn't sound smug or self-righteous but...that's the price you pay for empathy and at least attempting to take the high road.

There will always be people who don't have the ability, capacity, wherewithal, or life experiences needed to see the bigger picture or recognize the need to put themselves in the shoes of others.

That leaves you with two options: fight "dirty" right back or deal with the reality and accept that you face an uphill battle.


Is this likely to be reciprocated?

Not in all cases. But you still have to pick your battles.

When faced with opposition you can negotiate or go to war. If you start a war, you'd better be ready to win, or else you stand to lose everything.

And you had better be ready for the moderates to side against you.


Considering that urban liberals have control over almost all American mass culture/media outlets, yes, we are well aware of how you think what your ideas are.
