to see a show of hands /anti-vaxxing  /to devolve into an argument  /the most trivial of issues
polarized / conversational competence / the single most overlooked skill / 
to hone their interpersonal communications skills / to sustain coherent, confident conversation
allow pundits on my show /  food stamps /  Dick Cheney / sensing this acceptance
open up the inner recesses of his or her mind / take a cue from journalists / Err on the side of caution.
keep rephrasing it over and over / hey care about what you're like, what you have in common
paraphrasing/  I can bolster my own identity./ boils down to the same basic concept
Most of us don't listen with the intent to understand. We listen with the intent to reply."
