I agree. But you cant bring a hug to a knife fight. If we cannot agree on facts then what? I'm all for civility, but we cannot have it without accountability for those in power that have fueled the cult of Trumpism.
If you can't agree on facts, don't discuss politics with them. Find something else so that they don't feel isolated. You have to remember that these people are extremely sensitive snowflakes. They've been told their whole life that they are special, that being white is a privilege, etc. When reality smacks them in the face, they feel very resentful and will lash out. This is known as white fragility and you have to be careful with their feelings.
