we all seem to be getting more thin-skinned everyday.
We all have chinks in our mail, right?

Would you discuss the finer points of chemotherapy with someone who denies that smoking gives you cancer?
I would be interested to hear that argument.

Or , putting it another way ;-
“It might be worth pointing out that you’re not likely to convince other people to vote the way you think they ought to vote if you’re simultaneously berating them for being evilly evil with a double helping of evil sauce on the side, or sneering at them for being too ignorant to recognize that voting for your candidate really is in their best interests, or any of the other counterproductive habits that have taken the place of reasonable political discourse in today’s America.”http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.co.nz/2016/11/reflections-on-democracy-in-crisis.html

"Rural and agricultural America has revolted against this perceived feudal system in an unimaginable way.
It voted not only out of feelings of rejection and abandonment, but also out of the sentiment of being taken for granted.

That seems to me to be the fundamental point of the clip that Rob posted.
Slap a label on to justify the non-engagement.
Deplorable :-) -

That is just so deplorable ; we should not talk about this. :-)

contemporary left values’ such as income inequality or the environment
Why do you claim these values for the left?
Even “deniers” can hold these values :-)
Is it possible that we can even talk to each other?
Sue Bradford seems to think so - we'll see. -
Hard News: Be careful what you wish for, in reply to ,
I wouldn’t recommend reading too far into that.
Don't pull your punches.
"A country designed to resist tyranny has now embraced it. A constitution designed to prevent democracy taking over everything has now succumbed to it. A country once defined by self-government has openly, clearly, enthusiastically delivered its fate into the hands of one man to do as he sees fit. "It looks like pure horseshit to me.
