Perception of Political Opponents
- People tend to see their political opponents as motivated by hate rather than love or loyalty. - This perception makes finding common ground extremely difficult and escalates conflicts at Thanksgiving tables and beyond.
Assume Positive Intentions
- Assume others argue from positive intentions and loyalty, not hate. - This mindset reduces the sting of political arguments during Thanksgiving dinners.
Use Incentives to Improve Understanding
- Offering a financial incentive helps people see opponents' views as driven by positive emotions. - This could reduce Thanksgiving arguments, suggesting money might facilitate understanding.
