Sometimes it is just inertia that determines approach, or the mythical common sense.  One should at least listen.

I live in a very Red area, and the rules of political discourse are firm and inviable: Red viewpoints can and should be stated loudly and proudly; contrary viewpoints are fighting words.  It makes political discourse impossible.  Since I live in a pseudo-enclave around a recreational lake, there are people from outside the area living here as well.  If they come from the north, or even northern Virginia, they experience some degree of culture shock pretty quickly -- even if they consider themselves to be conservatives.  It's less politics than culture, and culture doesn't change easily.
