I read your argument all the way through. While the first half has a few points I feel have merit, the second half seems to go on a tangent that contradicts some of your earlier points. (1) I agree that conservatives and liberals have a problem with listening to each other, without immediately expressing anger. (2) from what I understand, coming from a republican family, a large portion of republicans don’t support trump as a person, but like his economic policies better than Biden. Trump’s biggest fault, that lost a good portion of republicans, was he loudly took dramatic positions. (3) Trump did have record record low black unemployment rate, but also during the later part of his four years he had pretty high black unemployment rate. Though that percentage has been brought back to low during Bidens administration. (4) unemployment rate now is 3.5% which is the same as the lowest point during the trump administration. (5) I’m skipping over the Biden critiques, because I don’t necessarily support his politics. (6) Appeal to past traditions is a fallacy. Furthermore, you use it incorrectly. The United States has a history of not treating all men as equals. I agree though, if an individual believes in certain traditional values then they have right to follow them. I disagree that every individual needs to believe in these traditional values. This is where I believe debate is most constructive. Instead of hating all traditional values or rejecting all changes, good arguments could be made for what is best for a modern America. (7) I don’t see how pride month is relevant. If you don’t want to celebrate it, then don’t. It’s the same with any other celebration. If they want to celebrate, then they can. I think many republicans and democrats do agree with that position. (8) the Christmas greeting example seems to showcase your point that there are fanatic liberals, but they’re not the majority. This is comparable to the Starbucks red cup debacle, where a few conservatives got mad the cup wasn’t Christmas enough. The majority of people, both conservatives and liberals, don’t care. (9) the police department is a complex issue in which I’ve heard several different recommendations for changes. The one I find most reasonable is an increase in training and education. That would be beneficial for cops and the goal of decreasing victims of police brutality.

I might of missed a few points, but I do think we have some common ground that fanatics of both groups are problematic. As I said previously I come from a republican household, although I tend to lean democratic, and we have calm constructive debates all the time. There are some issues that I think we can agree to disagree and I will leave it at that.
