Not taking into account environment/setting on establishing common ground: There's two methods of communication to consider in general the visual and dialogue. Appearances do matter (for me I come across as different things to different people, and whether dressed in business casual, formal, casual, working clothes, or 6" of flowing black hair is going to make a difference in other's perception of you) their response to how you appear will preface what direction dialogue will start on. In dialogue as a rule of thumb for finding common ground try to avoid all the flash words that have been programmed into people's heads. You start a conversation by bitching about "those woke commies or conservative cucks" and you're going to exclude whatever civil discourse you could have had. Start with empathy for the person your talking to, ask questions about their day and their concerns. It's something that most politicians never do, cause they're opportunist parasite fucks. 😅 %%**However, it's something you can genuinely do as a community builder.**%%
