In reply to the discussion: Stop pleading for understanding and kindness for Trump Voters [View all]Lotusflower70
(3,082 posts)177. I never understood it
Maybe it was an attempt to be tolerant and open but I thought it was futile. I usually try to see where someone else is coming from even if I disagree but this plea was going nowhere. They are too rigid and stuck in their ways. They don't want to be understood. They see the world the way they see it and that's it. They stay in their narrow box and comfort zone. It's wasted time and energy.
