half my family are affluent Japanese. doctors and lawyers.

the other half are rurul white from the midwest.

grew up "getting" both. can talk with either. it doesnt seem hard. at least to me. they just think differently.

but so often on here I see "they dont make sense," "you cant talk to them," "its impossible to convince them."

then turn around and mock them for their ignorance.

thats the annoying part. conservatives arent that hard to talk to or get along with at all. fine with them. fine with liberals. yes liberals are "smarter" in general. thats a given.

so use it. if ppl here are as smart as they think, then, well, even difficult tasks should be easier for ya, right?

so why are the smart ones so often saying "they dont make sense," "I just dont understand them," and so on.

what. theyre not that hard to understand. havent had that much difficulty with them. it just takes awhile.
