Swiss watch tarriffs were the straw that broke my camels back. Once Trumps ineptitude impacted me I was done with him. Sounds pretty MAGA doesn't it? Support policies that generally have zero real impact on you..

I wanted lower taxes. Those got raised. Expected America first policies. That hasn't happened. If youre a Israel, Argentina, China, or Russia fan I suppose you're stoked.

We waited ten years for Trump’s healthcare plan and it finally comes in the form of a one paragraph post on social media!

He wants to eliminate your healthcare plan to punish insurance companies and then give you money to buy a healthcare plan from insurance companies!

Trump is a moron.

4 Ways to Respond to Political Insults That Help Reduce Polarization - Builders

“You voted for Harris? What’s wrong with you?”

“You voted for Trump? You’re part of the problem.”

There’s a good chance you’ve been insulted for your political beliefs. Let’s face it: insults can get our blood pumping. We can “see red” and feel the urge to toss insults back — to fight fire with fire. The person who has insulted us can represent, for the moment, the entire “other side” — we can feel the urge to vent all our pent-up rage at “them.”

Being insulted is a challenge, to be sure — but it can also be an opportunity. With the right approach, we might get people to consider how their toxic ways of engaging are hurting political discourse — and even hurting their own cause.

#1: Stay calm​

It’s hard to stay calm and collected when we feel attacked. Our emotions can overwhelm us. Like the boxer Mike Tyson said: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.”

One obstacle we face in remaining calm is a feeling that doing so is weak. We should remind ourselves that remaining calm is the more powerful path. Responding to anger with more anger is the path of least resistance — and our anger can even push people away from our ideas. Remaining calm grants us power: we’ll be more persuasive to others.

#2: Be vulnerable​

Just as it’s hard to remain calm when attacked, it’s hard to be vulnerable. Insults will often put us in fight-or-flight mode. Also, like remaining calm, it may feel counterintuitive and weak.

But vulnerability can get people to lower their guard, apologize for their rude behavior, and listen to your ideas. Not always, of course — but it makes those outcomes more likely.

To learn more about leaning into this superpower, watch Brené Brown’s TED Talk The Power of Vulnerability.

#3: Mention the importance of reducing toxicity ​

If you do succeed in making a connection, however slight, you might try to get them to think about the cause for reducing political toxicity. Some ideas for approaches:

  • “Do you think insults help persuade people? Or push them further away? I think all this toxicity is driving wedges between us.”
  • “If you agree all this toxicity is only making things worse for America, you should look into movements like Builders.”
You can suggest articles like these to help people consider new ideas:

#4: Be okay walking away ​

Sometimes, the person insulting you won’t be interested in engaging in a respectful way. This will often be the case when interacting online with angry strangers.

If you see that trying to engage productively isn’t working, you should feel okay walking away from the encounter. Often we feel we have to respond to insults, or argue our case, or have the last word — but we don’t.

It’s also possible the other person notices that you refused to insult them back. They may feel bad about how they behaved. Even a decision to not engage might impact someone positively.

No Democrat running for President has pledged to release those files to the public. Donald Trump did, however, and he has obviously reneged on that campaign promise.

That's not true. I am interested in seeing those files, and we would have seen them by now, if Donald Trump's name wasn't mentioned prominently in them.

I knew it couldn’t/wouldn’t be released or it would have been released by now. He was elected and found out that he couldn’t release it either. It’s not that complicated, imo.
