(1) I have some thoughts that aren't as popular or widely practiced on Twitter. Don't attack people or respond in kind when they get hostile.

Let them demonstrate their hatefulness but don't play by those rules. Be peaceful, be calm, but be firm in conviction ⬇️
(2) This decreases conflict, and can lead to productive conversation and interaction.

Owning the libs, isn't as important as winning supporters or furthering your cause. Or most importantly your commitment to being a person of good character. ⬇️
(3) Also remember, you only prove others right when they call you vile/hateful if you respond in such a way. It accomplishes nothing.

This does not mean be a pushover, or let others walk all over you. It is said so that you may be strong and firm while holding others.... ⬇️
(4) ...acoountable without spreading further vitriol and hate. Violence begets violence, and evil words bring about more of the same.

Righteous indignation/anger is a good thing... but insulting others personally is not. ⬇️
(5) You would be surprised the people you can disarm by practicing these things.

It's just a thought, and what do I know? But I'm gonna commit myself to this as well.
