The only safe space for conservatives and republicans is the closet. Too many people don’t understand the conservative view of the world and, therefore, treat conservatives as unworthy of attention or friendship. Therefore those holding conservative views are afraid to share their thoughts and opinions.

Our society will not survive if those with opposing views are treated as pariahs. We have advanced, we understand there is very little difference between the races; racism is pretty much a thing of the past, except for those who use it as a weapon to defeat their enemies. But, we have regressed in our ability to have intelligent, reasonable conversations with those who challenge our beliefs. 

I believe this regression is the result of the Progressive Movement, which is unable to accept the fact that there are other opinions, important ideas, and concepts, necessary for a society to succeed.
