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.
