Found your problem. I think you're confusing democrats with Academia leftists.
What I learned is you cannot find common ground with people who utterly hate you and your way of life.
Most Democrats don't hate you and your way of life. I know because I hang out with plenty of Canadians who don't agree with my views on political stuff. However, we can discuss non-political things easily.
I hope young Republicans will learn the lesson
I hope they don't. They're not supposed to be leftists who want to hate the other camp. They need to keep trying to build bridges. That's how we'll get more folks to agree to compromise and common ground.
Yes, I'm friends with a few Americans who vote democrat.
Press X to doubt on "Most Democrats don't hate you and your way of life."
Dunno, they don't hate me and we have plenty of common things we share and like.
"Compromise and common ground" to them means the right capitulating to the left.
If you're principaled and think social cohesion and harmony is important, you don't become them. You'll keep trying.
Because the day you become bitter like that is the day you become a leftist basically. You will have compromised on a core principal.
Your compromise arguments sound like the inane drivel spewing from "bipartisan" Swamp snakes like Romney, Cornyn, Sinema and Manchin.
You'll never accomplish anything that requires collaboration without compromise. You'll never get 100% your own way when it involves other people. Don't be a spoiled child. Literally Trump was all about compromise. So are you including Trump in your list of Romneys ? That would be dumb AF.
At the end of the day being smug that atleast you kept your principles is worthless when it comes to preserving our constitutional liberties.
To preserve liberty, you cannot handicap yourself by forcing yourself to play with a different set of rules than the opposing side.
Social cohesion and harmony is not possible when the right still foolishly thinks they merely have a disagreement with the left and the left instead openly says that what they desire is all non-leftists lined up against the wall.
You are the epitome of the naive Republican that I pray will learn this important lesson without experiencing it firsthand and suffering the consequences.

No, you don't keep trying to negotiate and make common ground with a schizophrenic. Because their brain is broken. Same thing with liberals who believe patently crazy things like pregnant men and who encourage mental illness and self-harm, they can't be reasoned with because their brain is broken.
What you do keep trying to do is get them to take their clozapine, or in this case their red pill, so they return to normal functional human beings just with different views from you.
Or in other words, the problem isn't the sick liberals it's what's making them sick; hollywood, reddit, google/facebook, NPR/NYT, public school, and so on. Your civic duty to "promote social cohesion and harmony" is to always keep trying to expose, harass, and ridicule the sick people working at these disease factories.
This is the most amusing comment I read in a while.
Let me give you some context on my background.
I worked in academia for years.
If you think I have ever been in any echo chamber of my own views, you are mistaken.
I have managed to remain and defend my staunch anti-woke national populist views despite working for years in an echo-chamber of deluded leftism.
What I learned is you cannot find common ground with people who utterly hate you and your way of life.
You can find common ground with people if they are willing to debate in good faith.
That is sadly not what you will find on any college campus these days.
Wokeism is the new religion of the left and anyone who does not bend the knee will be treated as a subhuman.
I left academia because it is a festering homogenous cult.
I believe it is important to learn about opposing views.
That doesn't mean I am going to be foolish enough to date or maintain friendships with people who hate my way of life.
Being betrayed by friends over politics changes you.
I hope young Republicans will learn the lesson I learned without suffering permanent consequences.

Have you met any Democrats lately?
Press X to doubt on "Most Democrats don't hate you and your way of life."
I am an Asian American and sadly many of my relatives are still Dems. I heard unfiltered what they think of the right. It is nothing but blind hate.
"Compromise and common ground" to them means the right capitulating to the left.
There can be no compromise and common ground when it comes to preserving our constitutional rights that the left is constantly trying to destroy.

shut the fuck up, foreigner.
