    That’s not how you fix your country. Your way of thinking will only produce more animosity and extreme ideologies.

      how do I meet in the middle with the people openly calling for me to be rounded up and executed by the government, then? what’s the strategy for winning them over in the marketplace of ideas and why hasn’t it worked yet?

        It’s called “education”. It takes a few decades to get some results though. Unfortunately nobody tried it yet.

          the armed mob chanting “kill f*ggots, kill all transgenders” is in the streets today, not a few decades from now.

            I understand it’s a sad reality, but those people can’t reasonably be changed anymore. What we can do is work towards a better future while we keep looking at what can be done today.
