Is there anywhere on this site you've found decent discussion across the aisle?

Because everywhere I look, it's just the same insane lies and mental gymnastics regurgitated straight from r/politics, with all the same refusal to even acknowledge the slightest of errors in anything they believe

You should check your carbon monoxide alarm. Also maybe check if your plumbing is made of lead?

TLDR of every comment chain - OP has a total meltdown. Regularly calls people the Hard R and tells them to shoot themselves. Claims to be “calm”
- While this was fun to read, hijacking the top comment to say don't feed the trolls folks. Blocking's not the nuclear option here, it's the first option. Not sure why it seems culturally different like that in the fediverse, but somehow it is, and we should embrace it.
  
  Block early, block often. (Unless you truly enjoy arguing with trolls, which is totally fair.)
  
  Leave the bigots with no one to talk to but themselves.
- You should shoot yourself
  
  Yet another stable genius; nothing to see here
  
  Average well reasoned response! Do you think this is Truthsocial or something?
  
  And you wonder why nobody can have a sane conversation
  
  In my experience, people who post these “everything is r/politics and nobody wants to have a real discussion!” posts don’t want to have a real discussion. So, here we go.
Judging by your comment history you’re not interested in actual conversation, just being right.
- Why, because I refuse to accept insane delusions as an equal alternative to the real world?
  
  The call is coming from within the house
  
  No, because your responses are attacks and not in good faith, which is typical of conservative posters.
Tell us an example of these "insane lies and mental gymnastics" that you're alluding to.
- For instance, one of the largest power users on this instance is claiming that rfk Jr is actually decades long Republicans psyop and has perpetually feigned all of his political positions just to undermine democrats this one election.
- Or what about the other dumbass in this thread with the extremely enlightened position of "everyone who doesn't agree with me is just a bigot and participating in bad faith"
  
  If you do bigoted things (like voting for trump) you get called out for being a bigot. Who fuckin knew?
  
  Oh, that No1RivenFu…. Oh, oops.
Hey OP, maybe it's time you take a break from scrolling/posting and do something relaxing and enjoyable. I don't think arguing politics with people online is accomplishing anything but increasing your blood pressure.
- Just wait, he’ll tell you to kill yourself too for daring to disagree with him
  
  Lmao you're desperate to pretend you're not the problem here, eh?
- Lmao I'm perfectly relaxed, laying back with a beer in hand enjoying my Friday night, enjoying all the retarded trolls desperate to prove my point
