And Pence addressed the supposed wedge by simply stating what Trump has said all along.

As for the theme of this week, First of all, just don’t argue with them, they are not interested in arguing a position, they are just interested in an issue narrative. Anything else is just too taxing on their inability to use what was never taught to them, deductive reasoning and critical thinking.

All I do is ask a question or make a statement they have no answer or response for. For the tolerance subject, I just let them keep digging their “tolerance hole” and simple state;

Is it not stunning the most intolerant are those who constantly demand it?

I had a co-worker recently go on a rant about hating people who say they are praying for him. That was too easy. First I asked about his tolerance for those who hate. Bammo, right between the frontal lobes. Then I made the statement; Be mindful of how you live your life as you may be the only Bible most will ever read.

Leading by example is far more powerful than any group think. Especially when those you hope might notice have to think about it rather than being told what to think, just as adolescents turn off a constantly screaming adult, but then I repeat myself.

Argument never entered and rants squashed. Never raised my voice, just calm, cool and collected. With the open plan office, everyone within earshot heard it as well, only because his rant got their attention.
