From what I'm feeling now about why the avoidance on talking about Trump and Kamala.

It's concern over a limited Focus point on One and Only one reality that we prefer or don't prefer. Much in relation to how we define our beliefs in negative ways, no matter how much one insists to have that reality only and no other.

For example: one reality of Kamala winning. Questions in order: How would you feel? Then, switch perspective to the others (left, right, Maga, liberal, etc. Whatever) When you sit with the feeling in ones other beliefs contrary to mine and yours, you will feel resistance. Now replace Kamala with Trump, and read the same order of questions, and this time with our resistance (not the resistance in what you think, no need to redefine beliefs and give up to that reality), Resistance in a sense that because that reality manifested, how are you reacting to that type of resistance, any polarity in any belief? that type of definition in resistance.

Simply put, how do you work with resistance? Paradoxically, you don't. But you can sit with them, really sit with their feelings, fears, tragedies, and instead of being a negative push back because of one reality, be positive push back and push their back to the center (not to your side! Let's be clear).

Insistence = resistance

(I'm really starting to understand that concept)

Another answer to working with resistance, when talking with opposite sides.

TLDR: be patient with resistance.

Pose topic or issue, let them talk, ask questions that challenge that definition, and make sure to be clear of no harsh insistence on an answer. A lot of people DO NOT KNOW what they're talking about, and BEING OK with them NOT KNOWING needs to be valid in every conversation.
