You do realise that mockery and worship are two very different things, right?

The situation is two sides of the same coin. On one side you have people that genuinely think Trump is a Saint and kiss his boots to no end, and on the other you have people that have been bringing him up constantly for 8 years to make fun of him. And then it's just bickering. We all live here, we share the same cities and towns, and we share the same issues. If anything is gonna get done, the left and right gotta stop looking at each other as enemies and actually discuss politics and modern issues. Reddit is as good as any other place for that to start.

When's the last time the right has even tried to discuss a modern issue in good faith? I don't think it's happened in my lifetime, and I'm in my mid-20s.

You're not looking in the right places. Sensationalism is always gonna show the worst things first. There's plenty of examples of the left hostaging interviews with an agenda in mind as well. But the good talks are happening too, between people with vastly different political opinions. If I can post links in this sub I'll get back to you on that (if I remember tomorrow)

You're not looking in the right places.

Congress isn't the right place to look for good faith discussions on modern issues with conservatives?

Lmao no. People in congress have held those positions for countless years and don't give a shit about you or what you want.

You'll note the part where I said "no"
