"5% of Republicans said they wouldn't be friends with someone from the opposite party, compared to 37% of Democrats.
71% of Democrats wouldn't go on a date with someone with opposing views, versus 31% of Republicans. "
Sad to see that so many Republicans still foolishly want to try to be friends with leftists or date leftists.
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.

Quite the opposite. It's nice to see one side isn't so deep into politics, they can't find common ground with others who don't fully agree with them.
Echo chambers suck and if your principals are strong enough, getting them challenged once in a while shouldn't be an issue for you.
You should ask yourself why you're so insecure, you can't tolerate any challenge or disagreement. You sound more like a leftist because of it.
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.
Your compromise arguments sound like the inane drivel spewing from "bipartisan" Swamp snakes like Romney, Cornyn, Sinema and Manchin.
