Do you think your statement will convince someone who voted for McCain to say “Boy you are so right, thanks for calling me a shit head. I now see your point and I was wrong”
Agreed, like I said before, like my friend said
four years ago, that kind of thinking doesn't get us anywhere. Even if I might personally think they're shitheads for believing the things they believe, it's important for me to at least try to understand why they believe it. Yelling at them for being shitheads doesn't bring us any closer.
Those who are thinking, "we control Congress and the White House now, we don't need to cater to the Republicans any more, screw 'em, we'll just fix everything now and not listen to them", aren't looking at the future and are just fueling the existing divisiveness that brought us here in the first place. History will be doomed to repeat itself if the urban liberals continue to misunderstand and ignore the rural Republican mindset.
