(13,390 posts)There are people in my life who are racist and obnoxiously conservative. But, have also been there for me and helped me when I needed it. Living in a red state, I come across this often. I find it frustrating that they make assumptions about my peers, but say that I am an exception when it comes to wanting poor people to have food stamps, disability benefits, etc. I can on the other hand appreciate how they interact with me despite their opinions that I dislike.
This TED talk was interesting. It's tough to imagine the possibility that Sean Hannity is a nice guy. But having known some very generous conservatives whose opinions I abhor, I can accept it as a possibility.
