How do you compromise with hate and bigotry? How do you heal?
Healing requires reaching out to hate-filled bigots. I won't do it. I'll find another way, but it WILL NOT involve cuddling with warmongering, ignorant, hypocritical bigots.

1. The First Step
The first step is to realize that these people are filled with fear.

2. How do you compromise with a fussy child?
You let him go hungry until he learns to eat.

3. Are you a parent?
Because most will tell you that's a very bad idea.

4. Amen.
This unity crap makes me sick. Why are we divided? Did we forget? I will not work to validate this bastard, to further the cause of those he panders to. I will fight him every step with every bit of strength I can muster.

5. A: You don't compromise
You try to understand how a person gets to that place, and then use that info to figure out a way to coax them back where they belong.

As another post said, you have to realize that they are afraid and ignorant.
