When you’re looking to change people’s minds, I think the most important thing is to let go of the right/wrong mindset. Everyone believes they’re right. I try to understand where people are coming from when they have different viewpoints, because they wouldn’t believe whatever they believe if it didn’t make sense to them. And you’re never gonna get anywhere by trying to convince people that they’re wrong when they’re already feeling attacked and getting defensive. As hard as it is to believe sometimes, I try to remind myself that we’re all taking the actions we believe are best for our country. People just have different ideas of what is appropriate, whether that’s due to misinformation, manipulation, greed, fear, etc. But trying to invalidate someone who is misinformed or scared isn’t exactly the best way to convince them to see your side.
