Rarely do people seek confrontation. In fact, most people look for ways to avoid it.
The opportunity for confrontation surrounds us conservatives every single day. Itmightarise from a controversial statement by a friend who tells you that there is no need for strong borders, or from a conversation at work about the apparent need to change the date of Australia Day.
We all know the feeling. It is easier to keep the peace and let it go. After all, it is much simpler to find some common ground, pretend you did not hear, or just nod your head when you completely disagree.
