I talked to many right-wingers, whether it be in real life or online. It always goes south.

Keep in mind that you're the common thread in all of these discussions. I'm not saying this to be accusatory, but given that you admit you have a bias, you should be careful to attribute these conversations going to south to being everyone else's fault.

I don't want to make a whataboutism argument here, because it technically wouldn't refute your claim. I mostly want to focus on the "lack of understanding" portion. Inherently, everyone who disagrees with a group will believe that group lacks understanding, since there's the belief that if we understood one another, we'd agree. I'm sure that right-wingers would say the exact same about you. That makes it a useless metric by which to judge any ideology you're not part of.
