How would you approach persuading a far extreme liberal toward center? What would you set as a realistic goal for a productive discourse? Would it be better attempt to do so in person rather than online?

    Didn’t you post a somewhat opposite yesterday using “Republican”?

    Those two terms aren’t even close to equivalent in this context.

    You need to define what you mean, a LOT. At least start with equivalent labels.

      I bet this is going to be some sort of gotcha about how people didn’t feel the need to “deprogram an extremist liberal”, so obviously everyone is out to get the poor poor conservatives who just want to be vile in peace

      The title may be edited, idk, but the other post you’re referring to says “conservative” today

      Edit:Looking at the profile, the wording of both posts are identical, except “conservative” is swapped for “liberal”
