Is it "facts" we don't share or is it more of an ideological divide? There are indeed close parallels with what's happening in the Church. Pope Francis wants a more merciful/loving/inclusive church but look at the opposition he gets from the entrenched establishment. I hate to say this, as one who (generally) prefers limited government, but maybe it's time to step up the laws on what constitutes hate speech. I have no idea how you would be enforced, it pains me to even think of it... perhaps society as a whole needs to rally around the idea that demonizing those with whom we disagree is no longer socially acceptable... social media included!
