That's the reaction we all have at first, you need to understand we aren't fighting sworn enemies, these are our own neighbors and residents. The goal here is to win over an ally, not defeat an enemy. Bullets don't beat ideas, sadly conservatism in American is one the very few ideologies in the world that still believes in this. I kind of take it as a compliment that we've managed to hold steadfast. Our side doesn't have people who loot because others loot, we don't retaliate blow for blow. Eye for an eye is what uncivilized people do. If you understand that you can grow so much, because anger is so petty and forms the basis for violence everywhere in the world. Now I challenge you to win over allies, one at a time. Much harder than pulling a trigger or landing a blow isn't it?

Really love your perspective and am going to give it a try.
