Trying to argue with conservatives.
All that they’re great at is detouring, distancing, playing down, doubling-tripling down, disassociating, strawmen and more illogical fallacies. They can’t take up an honest debate unless there are rules in place that gives them any outs from being pressed when confronted with questions they can’t give truthful answers to.


Trying to find honest/open people for friends, partners, employers. Or so it seems, 40 years in.
Then I think its time for you to look inwards
What if I did that, big time, and it made it worse, because nobody else looks inwards? Context: I very much live in the southern U.S., so maybe check yoself.
“If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your shoe.”
There are plenty of people who are open and honest and kind, even in the southern US.
Ahh, i see now why it seems to you like its impossible to find any good people to form any kind of relationships with :)
Hint: it’s not about where you live
