"...it is too exhausting to argue with people who will never agree to a point of view that doesn't mirror their own."

If you feel like you have made a good argument for your position and have effectively countered the arguments of those who will not change their point of view, the process is not exhausting but rather energizing.

Using that as a benchmark, I'd suggest you present logical, compelling arguments for the views you hold or, if you can't present arguments like that for those particular views, that you adopt some views which you can support with compelling arguments.

It's that simple.

And, on another issue, you write: "Multiculturalism shoved down our throats like somehow American culture just doesn't cut it."

Coming from the guy who had just suggested that we somehow could, or should, protect women of other cultures from wearing face covering, that's pretty funny. Ed
