Based on the discussion of the topic, it is apparent that many do not want to know or understand what those with different political views believe/think.
That said, I have many people I love and respect with different views than I. I understand their why despite disagreeing with their conclusions. We have meaningful conversations all the time.
The OP is part of the problem. A broad generalization with personal insults about a lack of intelligence despite an education.
The average conservative loves this country and doesn't hate anyone just because disagrees with them about politics.
The average liberal loves this country and doesn't hate anyone just because they disagree with them about politics.
Unfortunately, some people enjoy and profit from a hate and division narrative.
At least that is my experience when identities are known. Anonymity doesn't help this discussion.
