You take no efforts to understand their grievances, hear them out, so their problems never get solved.

By reducing people to simple labels, it might be able to deal with them in your own mind with a reduced cognitive load, but this leads to further alienation and eventually full breakdown of coexistence.

These people are here. They have problems with how things are run. Deny them the soap box and you push them to the ammo box. I hope I never see this in my beloved country.

So the first step in deescalation would be to understand their grievances. What are the big issues they care about? Why do they care about them? Is there a common ground?

The more you call regular Americans who’s parents and grandparents fought and died fighting Germany, Nazi’s, the more you show that you not only don’t understand them and their views, you show you have no interest in learning about their views.

Remember what happened last time there was taxation without representation?

The more you sum up large swaths of people with simple labels, the more you show your own bigotry and lack of empathy.

First try to understand, then find common ground. These people are here to stay, we can either cooperate with them or fight them. Is the best armed population group on the planet the one you want to corner into armed conflict?
