You know, looking back at our conversations, I've realized something important. I've been so caught up in my own beliefs and biases (and Fox News) that I never really took the time to really listen to others with an open mind. I've used words like "brainwashed" to dismiss those that have a different opinion than mine, and that's something I deeply regret. It's one thing to stand firm in your convictions, but it's another to dismiss others without understanding their perspectives.
I apologize for being so quick to label people and shut down conversations. I can see now that it's not just disrespectful, but it also limits any chance for real growth or understanding. Everyone's experiences and viewpoints are valid, and I've come to realize that I need to be more humble in how I engage with others, especially those I don't agree with.
Thank you for your patience. I'm going to do better. I promise.
