That would require a shift in mindset.

Which includes EVERYONE. Including those of us on the Left.

Over the last few days I've seen little capacity for posters here to engage in honest introspection and evaluating things we can all do to change our collective mindset.

Rather, I've seen rationalizing and a preference for pointing fingers and demonization.
