As a conservative who lived 28 years in liberal CT, I know what it is like to be called a racist, misogynist, and warmonger. Understanding takes courage. Many people take refuse in ignorance.

That's a big part of the problem. Many consider that age makes one more mature, more empathetic, more wise, more ethical... Age is a number. That's all. And those who think a number makes them any of the above are probably far from it. There are numerous threads on that topic that will confirm that.
