The political climate in the past few years has been characterized by a level of polarization that would seem to indicate that it isn’t possible to disagree with a person without being disagreeable. Perhaps we’re afraid that being tolerant of other people’s beliefs will cause others to think we agree with them. Isn’t it possible to accept a person without necessarily agreeing with that person’s position? Even if we consider their opinion to be assinine, can we not respect their right to that opinion?
