If more liberals and conservatives have this attitude then the world will be a better place.
If you were a salesperson trying to persuade a potential client to
switch suppliers, you would be kind and friendly to that client, not
dismiss them as stupid or worse for their current supplier choice. So if
you're trying to sell an idea – whether on the national political stage
or at a family dinner with your uncle – why would you behave any
differently? Kindness, respect, finding the basic goodness and human
dignity in everyone – that is the essence of emotional correctness, and
that is how we begin the conversations that lead to change.
A Happy Warrior wins more converts to his side than some mean-spirited asshole waving his fist at everyone.
