There is a crucial difference between compassion & agreement with others' untenable views. We must set examples to teach our children compassion for those who are different while at the same time teaching them to stand up for what they believe. Imitation is how they learn best.

Once friends & family members could hold differing political views & remain close. Now those differences often engender hatred, disrupted relationships, even violence. When we reject people because they don't share our views we impoverish ourselves & tear apart the social fabric.

👏🏼👏🏼 The answer is no. Let's all try to keep our assumptions in check as we navigate national controversies!

Policies are important, and you should fight to convince others of what you believe, but treating those on the other side with courtesy is always more important convincing someone you’re right.

If you find it difficult or impossible to have a cordial political conversation with a loved one with whom you disagree, good chance you’re in a toxic echo chamber that is fueling hatred for the other side, while only affirming your worldview.

Fear and anxiety are sky-high right now in America. Obviously this has a lot to do with the pandemic. However, fear was rising fast even before the coronavirus. This is creating misery and conflict. How can we deal with it? (1/5)

Let's all commit to waiting a little longer before we flip that switch. 👏🏼

Bad news for politicians trying to polarize us: Americans are basically united on coronavirus issues. There may be a cultural dust-up but no culture war.

Not to be controversial but I have friends and we don't agree on stuff.

If we are truly committed to creating a better society, we should not put our ideological opponents in a box that they can't escape from. If you want change, then let people change. Do not assume they are inherently terrible people. #listenfirst #weavingcommunity

Another eye-opening visual about how a majority of Americans agree on several "controversial" issues: #endthenightmare #listenfirst #weavingcommunity #principlesfirst #countryoverparty #unrigthesystem #unitednotdivided #inittogether

🚨NEW REPORT 🚨Americans believe they are as polarized as any time in history, but our new research shows the opposite. On everything from #guncontrol to #immigration, we’re much more aligned than we think. Read more: beyondconflictint.org/americas-divid… #polarization #OurDividedMind
