Without wanting to particularly single you out, it does worry me that people anywhere on the political spectrum so massively misunderstand other positions, whether through wilful ignorance or otherwise.
It's just this habit I have where if I'm interested in challenging someone's ideas or preconceptions, I do it in a gentle way and from a place of curiosity and understanding rather than reinforce their misconceptions by being condescending and unpleasant.
Because, to me, it looks only like an ad hominem attack towards an ill-defined group.
