  • Disliking what someone think doesn’t mean we care about what they think.

    People really need to accept the nuance in a thing. Because included in this is the notion that one can “care” about something or someone they dislike.

    For example:

    I care about what Trump thinks about immigration. I care about what he thinks about the rights and freedom of our LGBTQ+ friends and family. I care about what he thinks about other nations and the diplomacy needed to maintain a relationship with each and every one of them. I care about what he thinks about our healthcare system.

    I don’t, however- care about him.

    This is how nuance works. Everything isn’t simplified down to this, or else that. Black, or else white. Up, or else down. That each of these things to exist, one accepts that there is also a spectrum associated with it that allows for a gradation of perspective that has potential to lean in either direction.

    EDIT: I hope this didn’t come off as condescending. I didn’t intend it to sound that way. I’m actually only trying to offer a different perspective.
