The result, people can't just have conversations and agree to this agree or come to some sort of understanding.
I used to have to get a ride from my dad to go to school and he would let me drive. He always got into politics (Rush Limbaugh's voice was at the height of his career) or I would make a mistake and correct him on something racist he said and we would argue ignorant political viewpoints about everything from Clinton to color of skin half of the time in the car. It was bad enough that he would have to tell me to slow down because I was for some reason breaking speed laws (looking back I might have wanted to get to the destination faster).
We never came to any understanding about anything. But then again I never grew up in the 40's to 60's and experienced East Saint Louis as a kid or the Depression. His heroes were the WWII vets. He never grew up in a suburbs in the 70's and 80's with ranch style houses surrounded by people who learned life thru the tv sitcoms. We kind of had Vietnam as a thing we were trying to figure out still (but not so much because we weren't the heroes there in public opinion). Just a huge cultural difference.
