To be clear, I very much understand why people are choosing not to engage with those who are politically different from them. Political decisions can be deeply personal and have very real consequences, particularly for marginalized groups. At the same time, though, “agreeing to disagree” with no further communication isn’t going to repair the damage. He asked great questions, shared some really meaningful personal experiences and had some valuable insights that I took home with me. He gave me an opportunity to engage in conversations that I hadn’t been having as often as I should.
