After spending a life weaving a diverse tapestry of friendships that span both conservative and liberal perspectives, I have come to a conclusion. Almost everyone believes they are either absolutely right or mostly right. Compromise is only possible when you enter the room knowing you aren’t the only one there. Oh, and when you do seek compromise, consider avoiding the absolutely right people. They are generally wrong. (Now say the last two sentences using a Yoda voice.)
